1 Front Suspension Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2015

My car was wearing out tires every 20,000 to 30,000 miles. I have had my car aligned 5 times. Twice by the dealer and 3 times by so called expert shops. $2,200 later in tires & alignment costs neither, fixed my problems. I did the troubleshooting myself. I stopped rotating the tires and discovered that the rear tires were the culprits wearing the tires out. Due to a negative upper control arm setting. Rear camber on this is not adjustable. You must replace it with a dealer upper control arm marked "c" that sets it at -1. 50 deg (-0. 75-+1. 08). Found this out when I located a recall for only the 2006 to 2009 Civic. My Civic is a 2010 model. It is suspected that the rear tire wear is made worse when you carry extra weight. I live on base (ridgecrest CA) and visit grandma in pasadena CA often with my 2 kids and wife a 2 hour round trip. The passengers must have made this worse. The reason for my post is that the recall does not include the 2010 Civic! I had to use an after market rear upper control arm and set to -1. 50 to correct spending $600 on tires every 20,000 to 30,000 miles. Now my tires last ~70,000. Come on Honda! waiting for a lawsuit to make you do the recall & keeping the 2010 out of the recall is just irresponsible. You have lost my respect and I will now go back to the ugly more reliable Toyota corolla. I have all my records for every alignment. Unfortunately, I forgot to keep the tire receipts for the number of time I replace all 4.
