Another write up DIY for fixing the rear camber with new bolts and washers, this time with pictures.
This comes from a Honda Accord forum, but as we all know, the suspension is the same for the CL, credit for write up goes to cokinut.
Here we go....
The New Bolts

Perfect example on why you NEED a camber kit!
These are the bolts you need to remove and replace
New bolts and washers installed
Look how straight my rear tires are
How many washers should you put in? I think a good estimate is assuming each washer equals 0.25 degrees of adjustment. The acutal amount of camber on the wheel shown above is -0.24 Be sure to go get an alignment after you put on your camber kit! Just because your camber is straight, your tires may still wear because of incorrect toe. I had 50% tread on my tires, after my camber kit install, a week past and the tires were down to the wires because the toe was off.
Bubble between the lines is good.
I did this today to my CL. My only advise, make sure you get the 60mm bolt if you need anything more than three washers, I barley got three to fit on the stock washer. Get fender washers, not cut washers (almost got the wrong ones) and do ONE bolt at a time, I found this to be easier. Dont forget to jack the suspension up!
Bolt = 10mm x 1.25 pitch x 60mm
Washer = 3/8 Fender washer
