Here’s something strange I found during alignment.

Ran two alignments on my Accord Sport Hybrid two weeks apart and the “before” numbers came back completely different. Same car, same hardware, same shop — but the rear‑toe baselines were opposite.

Alignment #1 — Left‑rear toe way out of spec
Left‑rear toe was shoved hard into the positive. Thrust angle was off and the rear wasn’t tracking cleanly. Definitely needed correction.

Alignment #2 — Left‑rear toe swung the other direction
Two weeks later, the left‑rear toe was deep into the negative. Total rear toe flipped, thrust angle flipped with it.

Two alignments, two opposite baselines.
This mismatch points to a malformed bushing affecting the rear‑toe readings between visits.

Final alignment numbers — corrected for the mods and optimal performance — are posted for anyone who wants to compare both baselines and see the dialed‑in setup.

A lot of people still think the Accord Hybrid uses some kind of CVT or DCT. It doesn’t. This is the real two‑motor e:HEV system straight from Honda. (not a CVT) Thanks to Hot_Tradition_7591 for the clarification!

Installed a rear sway bar on my 2026 Accord Sport. Keeping the car OEM+ and clean, but wanted sharper rotation without messing with ride comfort. Here’s the install, notes, and first impressions.

Tools & Parts

• Jack + stands
• 14mm / 12mm sockets
• Torque wrench
• RSB — I used a Progress 22 but Whiteline is also a quality option

Install Notes
Unhook the tailpipe hanger, then remove the brackets and end links.
Fish the old bar out through the exhaust side — that’s the only side with enough clearance.
Slide the new bar in the same way, reconnect the end links, and bolt the brackets back up.
Torque everything to spec: 43 lb‑ft for the brackets and 29 lb‑ft for the end link nuts.

Driving Impressions The rear feels more planted right away. Turn‑in is sharper, and the car rotates with less front‑end push, but the ride stays completely stock. No added harshness, no noise, and no weird behavior over bumps. It just feels more controlled mid‑corner and more confident when you load the chassis. Exactly the kind of OEM+ improvement I wanted.

Easy install, real improvement, still OEM+. Exactly what I wanted. More of my Accord build is over on ASHF.
