Had the arms replaced and I can't believe how different the car now feels. I don't get that "hopping" in the rear when I go over bumps.

I just copied the two pages of the TSB from a few posts back (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2225229.) and pasted it into Word and brought it to my dealer.

honda covering tires and control arms by wanderingwolf

I have had the same issue as everyone else - just told yesterday I needed new tires AGAIN -third set on civic hybrid that has only 32,000 miles on it. Called american honda and opened a case - then when I went to pick up my car later, they told me they were replacing the rear control arms and honda was covering the cost of replacing the control arms as well as the cost of 4 new tires and alignment. I am not very happy about Honda dealers for not saying anything to me about an obviously KNOWN issue, but am happy they are covering costs! Considering the safety factor involved here, I am really surprised at Honda for not issuing a recall immediately to correct the problem for all owners. I call this a "Youcall" instead of Recall.

They did issue a recall. Either, they didn't have your current address or you haven't been checking the notices on edmunds.com. See:

The O ring recall is not the same as the conrol arm issue. The rear control arm problem is only a TSB.

I just bought a 2008 Civic LX and was wondering if anyone with a 2008 model has had a problem with the tires or control arms.

I am curious about this too. If no one posts any issue, there the problem does not exist for 2008 models.

Evidently no one has enough miles on their 2008 Civic to have adequate information. We bought a 2008 Civic that was manufactured in November of 2007. We had the same concerns as the previous posters expressed about whether this car might have similar problems with the control arms and tire wear
 
Doesn't sound like most dealers would offer this kind of information voluntarily.

I have over 10,000 miles on my 2008 EX-L. No tire problems or vibrations as have been mentioned by 2006-2007 owners.
