I took my 2006 HCH in to my local dealer. I have not noticed handling problems and my tires show even wear 32K. They look like they will probably make it to 40k before replacement. He said the wear was even and not excessive; "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and all that. He said it may start problems that were not there before it was "fixed". The dilemma is should I insist? Has anyone had this experience?

No one responded so... I Called the dealer yesterday and discussed that the TSB says the arm should have a C stamped yet mine has an A. He said "Let me call you back." @5 minutes later he called me back to say all the kits he has has the C on them.....he can't understand why mine has an A....neither can I, got an appt at 1pm friday to take it back in.....stay tuned.....

UPDATE-Evidently I'm half blind......they put it up on the rack and without the shock in the way I could clearly see the C stamped on the arm (there is a smaller A on there also, which led to my confusion)......wow, felt dumb as a box of nails.....no harm, no foul.

Does anyone know where I can print out the TSB? The link on the first page is dead. I've noticed my rear tires have some crazy camber, and I have some nasty uneven tire wear at 20k. I'd like to read the actual tsb to see what the tire proration deal is, among other things.

Thank you!

Awesome. Thanks.

Click on above link, re: possible class action lawsuit on this control
arms problem.

Try this link. I found this on another site, but this guy has all of the TSBs. The 08-001 is the most up-to-date with the '08 HCH listed and it has all 5 pages.

Thanks! That has the most up-to-date version of the TSB showing the '08 models affected. Mine was one of the last 10 with the bad control arms

I got mine replaced yesterday. I wish I had seen this thread earlier. Every time I took my HCHII to my dealer, I asked them to rotate the tires. Every time they said the tires were all wearing evenly and didn't need to be rotated. I always paid more attention to the tread on the front tires anyway.

Last week, I decided they should finally be rotated (after 30K miles) and took them to a place that rotates for free. I was surprised that one of the tires they pulled forward was worn down to the wear bars. Anyway, I got new tires on Saturday and got the rear control arms and alignment yesterday.

I originally had the Dunlop SP31 A/S tires and replaced them with the Bridgestone Insignia SE200-02 tires.
