Tim, I don't know what to make of that, I have not crawled around on the garage floor (too old to be that limber ) but I have noticed a marked decrease in noise and vibration so I am presuming it was fixed right...Have you had a decrease in the noise & vibration?

Thanks for posting this. While I had my car in today for TSB 08-014 for harsh transmission engagement, I mentioned the rear end felt loose and there was some tire roar at speed and that the rear upper control arms definitely did not have a C on them. The service adviser said "ohh" and later informed me they were going to replace the control arms. My original Bridgestone tires on my 07 were wearing fine, but it's good to know I won't have future problems now.
This was at Earnhardt Honda in Avondale , AZ. I'm kind of stoked to see if I notice any difference with the latest software.

Got the car back this morning and it feels noticeably tighter to me, not majorly, but noticeable. The control arms do have a C on them and I got a free 4 wheel alignment to boot. They gave me the alignment sheet and the rear was out of whack. I had .40 and .24 degrees of toe on the rears (indicated in red) and the front .12 and -.12 degrees of toe too so that was a freebie adjustment.
The current measurement shows front .03 and .05 degrees of toe and .07 and .07 degrees of toe on the rear. The alignment could explain some of the better feel too, but leaving it overnight to get this all done was well worth it.... and free

Same here, dealer didn't give me any hassle on my 1st visit, replaced everything and all the numbers on the invoice match the TSB.......but was a little surprised to see the A stamped on there along with the AME markings, hoping to have seen an answer prior to calling the dealer back.

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?

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.
