How do I adjust the rear toe on a Honda Civic?

I’ve read that I can drastically improve the handling of my Honda Civic if I adjust the rear toe. I’m looking to get vastly superior handling, so how can I change the rear toe on a Civic?

You’re right! Adjusting the rear toe on a
Honda Civic
can improve the handling of your vehicle. Plus, it doesn’t cost you a dime! To adjust the rear toe on a Honda Civic, follow these steps:
  1. Jack up the rear of the Civic and remove one of the wheels. It doesn’t matter which one.
  2. Locate the rear toe. If need be, look in your owner’s manual or do a quick Google search to ensure you’re looking at the right thing.
  3. ** Use 17mm and 24mm wrenches** to adjust the rear toe to your desired settings.
As a general rule, toe-in, or where the front of the rear tires is angled slightly inward, is the better option. It can improve handling far better than a toe-out setting.
Since you put so much time into improving the handling of your Civic, you’ll want to protect it with the best
car insurance
