2007 Civic with "Dancing Rear End"
Does your 2007 Civic rear end appear to have a mind of its own when on anslippery surface?
Does your 2007 Civichandling feelfunny in a strong cross wind at highway speeds?
Are your rear tires wearing out prematurely?
Honda have issued a service bulletin on the rear camber control arm as being the cause of rear tire wear.
Jury is still out on the "dancing rear end" stuff.

RE: 2007 Civic with "Dancing Rear End"
I just derived some technical info from the jury room!
Here is what is happening to my car:
When I raise my rear end 1 inch the Right Rear Toe OUT increases by about 0.3 Degrees. At the same time my Left Rear Toe OUT increases by about 0.1 Degrees. That explains two things:
1. The reason my right rear tire is worn more then my left rear tire, and
2. If one rear corner of the car goes up while the other rear corner goes down, such as in a strong cross wind or cornering,BOTH Toe changes are in the same direction causing the rear wheels to turn the rear end in that direction, hence, the "dancing rear end".
