Accord & Prelude (Except Prelude With Automatic Torque Transfer System - ATTS)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Honda Prelude, 2001 Honda Odyssey, 2001 Honda Civic, 2001 Honda CR-V, and 2001 Honda Accord. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove lock nut on end of radius (strut) rod. See Fig 1 . Remove radius rod bolts and radius rod from lower control arm.
  2. Adjust caster angle by increasing or decreasing adjusting shims. On Prelude, a 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick shim changes caster angle by .67 degree (40 minutes). Caster angle can be adjusted a maximum of 1.33 degree (one degree, 20 minutes). On Accord, a 1/8" (3.2 mm) thick shim changes caster angle by .58 degree (35 minutes). Caster angle can be adjusted a maximum of 1.17 degree (one degree, 10 minutes). Install NEW lock nut. Tighten radius rod bolts and lock nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
