I just picked up my NSX from Acura after checking the alignment and we discovered something very strange. Need a few gurus to chime in here- I'm stumped!
1-week before the track, we set the alignment to the following. Note all measurements are in DEGREES.
FRONT L R
Camber -0.43 -0.37
Caster 7.99 7.98
Toe -0.16 -0.12
REAR L R
Camber -1.53 -1.57
Toe 0.19 0.15
Then I spent a half day at HPR running 4 sessions. We never hit any bumps, nor did we ever go off track. The only change to the suspension was stiffening the shock rebound. On the same rack yesterday at Acura, here is what we saw. Significant changes are in BOLD:
FRONT L R
Camber 0.17 -0.16
Caster 8.11 7.63
Toe 0.01 0.03
REAR L R
Camber -1.53 -1.55
Toe 0.21 0.30
Also, the front lug nuts, which I had double torqued to 90 ft/lbs had come loose and the wheel was wobbling on the hub. Strangest of all, the Right caster WOULD NOT adjust any higher than 7.63. My question: What the hell happened to my NSX???? Should I be concerned? Acura is stumped. :frown::frown::frown:
