My 03 accord is not making any sounds or anything. But I notice the rear left wheel is wearing in the inside or known as negative camber. I brought it to just tires they said I need new struts. The damping force is still good on the car when I push down on the trunk and let go it doesnt bounce up and down. Struts were inspected by honda dealer in january 2012. What are the signs bad struts? I checked mines it doesnt have any leaks. Also The shop told me that my Front two Lower Control arms are teared a little and cracked.
My cracks are like 2-3mm long and I was wondering do I need to replace those bushing or wait til it have a bigger crack.
Thank you

I just wanted to know how do you know if you struts need replacement and Lower Control Arm Bushing. The car has 63k. I also what to ask how do you correct negative camber.
Thanks
I don’t think you have bad struts especially if they’re not leaking. I get this all the time actually and to be honest if you’re not running Michelins this is actually typical. The Honda suspension is designed in such a way that there are extreme camber changes during cornering, this makes it so it handles well but if you don’t use the right tires you will see more wear just like you describe. Trust me on this I’ve seen it hundreds of times. Probably not a bad idea to address that bushing however.
