Recommended Posts

Right ok i love my Yaris ts but ive found a problem with the suspension. Hopefully someone else will have experienced this as well otherwise theres something wrong with me front struts.

When i was coming home last week i decided to give the car a wee boot :ph34r: , now upon tearing into the corner which was a long hairpin i had my windows down as it was roasting when i heard a rubbing noise i thought i was just hearing things until i decided to tear into another corner just to see if i was imagining things but then again i was getting rubbing to the offside this time.

Is the ts suspension pretty soft coz its pretty hairy hearing the noise :eek: .

Lowering should stop body roll i hope but this was something that i thought i should share

any others experiencing similar let me know cheers :D

Sounds about right, especially if your setup is standard (e.g. Standard suspension and alloys)

Bodykit?

Takes a LOT to make a standard sus/wheel setup to rub usually.

if you have aftermarket wheels/tyres, it may be rubbing on a bolthead that holds the plastic fender liner in your wheel well

I also have removed the bolt from front wheel and have replaced with a small screw. Looks a lot better that having a big old ugly bolt on show :D
