My Corolla T Sport

Hi [emoji5]
 
New to the forum, not long purchased a Corolla T Sport and needs quite a bit of work. Car doesn't feel stable when at higher speeds, feels like the car sways or doesn't feel level it's really hard to explain. Wheel bearings are shocked, had one replaced but other one making a horrible noise not sure if this is linked??

Other issues are cat c damage and was bodged so ideally new front bumper and new headlights.

New radiator needed and suspect leaking water pump.

I have the common seat problem where they don't move back and forth [emoji17].

Wishbones corroded and one has a crack.

Clutch is slipping slightly.

Suspect broken window motor, for some reason I can't open my door when window motor stops nearly all the way down [emoji53] [emoji23]

Ordered some Hardrace wishbones [emoji102] [emoji7] as my current wishbones are a little worse for wear and have a crack. I don't think this will fix the issue I described though [emoji17]de8456726af0c7c3e51539a052a5a6c5.jpg&key=ba67a1882e348d0eb7dd746deff2a3f66303f8210450aebc695085b55d94a2c7f559a7b47a5bf1af0224b3e34a0396aa.jpg&key=4e46019273d849df744ce03a724394e4f8fdaaff82de489b8a88c52dabaac775606fa83dcf16dbd767acfa3dfb2cff2e.jpg&key=c60e66cf6ba0c56f639eceb0b77055ea175125840c72b300b3d0cc76bfe40652

Was looking at a new set of alloys but not sure whether to go 17s straight fit 4x100 or go with the 18s as they have the colour i want but that will require a hub adapter / spacers.

Would 18s be a disadvantage and worth just getting the 17s resprayed or worth going 18s?

Thanks [emoji106]

That’s a good looking wheel mate. I’d personally go 17’s for best handling. But if it’s more show car 18’s. I’ve heard it messes with the speedo though. Not sure how much to be honest buddy

Yeah I would be happy with 17s mate but not sure if it will have the same look as that picture and they only do the 17s in black and silver [emoji17]

In a right pickle I want to keep the speedo close as to be honest.

Got a new wheel bearing from Euro Car Parts, anybody used the q-drive bearings before? Also got an oil filter to add to the service list and a little sticker why not [emoji102]

 

Cars going in at the end of the month to have the bearing done and have the wishbones fitter and also the auxillery belt replaced as it is soon to go! [emoji44]

I can't see those wishbones on the Hardrace site. Where did you get them from?
