Does anyone else have problems with the back passanger side suspention? When I have one passenger in my car and I hit the smallest bump only that one corner rubs. I currently have 205/50/16's on. I think it is odd that only that one corner rubs.

Is there any options that I could do? My idea right now it just get stiffer shocks for all four corners. Where can I get them? Also how much?

Thanks

P.s. I think I blew one of my original shocks. Working on the rigs is hard on the car, But unlike all the trucks I didn't get stuck. :thumbup:

yea the offset could be the problem....if they are out too far, they are probably hitting on the fender liner like mine are....

if you take pictures at different angles I can tell you whether the shocks and struts would fix your problem. I think new gas will fix mine because mines only with serious bumps and dips, and when im at a high rate of speed....

I had this problem too. I think the car was not aligned properly from the factory. Of course it got worse when I lowered the car. I just got an alignment last week and now everything is fine. I can't say this will work for you but it might.

I want to buy some stiffer shocks and struts. What are available brands?

Use the search box. 1000's of spring options, but only one shock option that I know of, TRD.

call a different dealer, because the TRD setup has been out for a long time, ask for struts instead of shocks, helps ya sound like you know what you are talkin about

well, if it affects only one corner, there could be something wrong with the suspension, or wheel alignment for that wheel only. You should first take it to a dealer to check on that.

oh, and, do you go rallying with your yaris or something? :biggrin:

As fun as rallying in the yaris would be, I do not. Maybe if I had better suspension, I would. :thumbup:

I had one too many burritos lastnight and my driverside front wheel rubs slightly, can anyone tell me what the problem might be lol...

I know why mine rubs, with just me front driverside. Two passengers, both front tires.
