Default 02 accord Tie Bar...

Few months ago I installed a Tie bar onto my 02 accord - Rear Lower.....

Last week when I replaced my 4 tires, I noticed the back tires were worn out on the inside.

With the new ones installed I laid on the floor from behind approximately 5 feet and noticed that my back tires need to be aligned.

wtf.....I dont have my car lowered. I have no clue how I lost the alignment.
Can someone explain to me why this might of happend?

Also with the new tires on ( Falken 205/60-15 ) when driving I hear like a hummming noise from the rear.

Could it be because of the alignment and or wheel balancing?

The noise could be because of the alignment. Alignments can go out over time from potholes, rough terrain, and just normal/spirited driving.

I didnt even know they made rear lower tie bars for out 6th gens.

if its adjustable then make it tighter or closer to the center of the car.
if it was adjustable and it sat too far apart then it is holding the bottom of the tires outwards making negative camber

hey dude, its a non-adjustable tie bar.
I picked it up on ebay. I was like hmmm.....why not . only spent like 25 bucks on it. In fact it does feel alot stiffer in the rear.
