Car dipping on the driver’s side (Yaris 2011)

[GolgoXIII]

Hey everyone,

I’ve noticed something odd with my 2011 Yaris 1NZFE AT 90k km.

When parked on level ground and press down on the front of the hood, the car dipping more on the driver’s side, even with no one sitting in the car

The height from the ground to the top of each wheel arch is the same on both sides.

At very low speeds, like when maneuvering, I can also clearly see the driver’s side dipping more than the passenger side when I brake.

Here’s what I’ve already replaced:

• Front shocks

• Top mounts

• Strut bearings

• Strut bump stops

• Tie rods + tie rod ends

• Sway bar links

When driving, the car behaves perfectly fine, stable handling, no pulling, and braking feels symmetrical.

But at low speed (or when stationary), this uneven dipping is quite noticeable.


Is this normal for this model?

My garage says the engine or other components are heavier on the left side, but I’d like to hear your opinions before investigating further.

Thanks in advance folks.
