Hardrace Civic EG / EK Rear Camber Arms Installation

Check out our long term best seller from our Hardrace.ie range -Hardrace Civic Rear Upper Camber Arms – 6112 and our install guide.

Hardrace 6112 is a rear upper arm camber kit that allows you to adjust the camber angle of your wheels for better handling and performance. It also comes with hardened rubber bushings that provide more stability and durability than the stock ones.

The installation process is pretty straightforward and you don’t need any special tools or skills. Here are the steps:

1. Lift up the rear of your civic and secure it with jack stands. Remove the wheels and locate the stock upper arms that connect the knuckle to the chassis.

2. Loosen and remove the bolts that hold the upper arms to the knuckle and the chassis. You may need a breaker bar or a hammer to loosen them if they are rusty or tight.

3. Remove the stock upper arms and compare them with the hardrace 6112 ones. You will notice that the hardrace ones have adjustable turnbuckles that let you change the length and angle of the arms.

4. Adjust the hardrace 6112 arms to match the length of the stock ones. You can use a tape measure or a ruler to do this. You can also fine-tune the adjustment later when you align your wheels.

5. Install the hardrace 6112 arms in reverse order of removal. Make sure to tighten all the bolts securely and use a torque wrench if possible. The recommended torque values are 40 Nm for the knuckle bolts and 50 Nm for the chassis bolts.

6. Repeat the process for the other side and reinstall your wheels. Lower your civic and take it for a test drive. You should feel a difference in how your car handles corners and curves.

7. To get the best results, you should also get your wheels aligned by a professional or use a camber gauge to do it yourself. You can adjust the camber angle by turning the turnbuckles on the hardrace 6112 arms until you get your desired setting.
