89 CRX Caster Problem - Tuner-Junction

djblingbling1 · #1 (**permalink**) November 30th, 2007, 09:44 PM

Hi, first post here. So I just bought an 89 CRX pretty cheap, and just found out that the catch to the great deal is that the front right caster is way messed up, and the car drifts to the right while driving it. Is there any way to fix this, apparently its not adjustable.

Car has probably taken a hit before. Full race sells a pretty expensive(but you definately get what you pay for -- it's around $500) and yet very very reliable and stable traction bar. With that, you can have your alignment guy pull or push the front lca's to where they need to be to give you a neutral/responsive/sluggish feel to your steering.. and get rid of that annoying pull.

There are other traction bar companys, avid racing, place racing, ***No ebay specials*** But the full race is the best one so far.

I looked at the full race one, and it says a bunch of stuff about remounting the radiator? Is this something that is easy to do or would I have to get the whole operation done at a shop?

is this the same thing as the traction bar? Also is a traction bar and sway bar the same thing? I googled traction bar and didnt come up with much.

I have the innovative mounts traction bar. A lot of folks on honda-tech liked it. I've had mine in the box for about a year now and just recently put it on, but I still gotta put on my right caliper before I can say anything about it's handling. It does look pretty strong, so we'll see. Good luck on whatever you chose though.

I currently have the Avid racing first gen traction bar on one of them, and full race on the other. Haven't finished the full race car yet, so not sure about radiator clearance. I can say that with my avid racing traction bar, I am using a factory radiator, and it doesn't even come close to my radiator. I'll try and take some pictures soon. =)

Not a traction bar. Check out Avid Racing, Innovative mounts, or Full Race
