Default EF hub problem?

ok, now, you see where the placement of the hub is? its a lilttle too far back, i was told that if i torqued down that nut in the front of the crossmember, it would pull it forward. the bushing was bad so i went to Honda and bought new ones. Replaced the old one and torqued it down to spec, and........ still in the same place. can anyone help me figure out what to do to rectify the problem? i am willing to pay a lil bit-o-cash(current rate per hour for labor) to someone that can fix this.

anyone?

Its also possible that your radius arm was damaged and replaced with one that was a bit longer... I had that on a crx I had and it drove me nuts until I figured out that nothing was bent or broken..but it was still all screwed up.

Maybe they used a DA radius bar instead of EF.

is it possible that some moron used a different axle than one for an ef? it seems that if i straighten out the axle, the wheel would stick out about 2 or more inches.

How about tomorrow you go to the junkyard and spend $5 on another radius bar.

its not the radius bar... the drive axle looks too long. and the radius bar is stock and unmoved from the crossmember. THE AXLE LOOKS TOO LONG>

I don't care what it "looks like". The axle won't push the wheel back like that.
