Tamago's guide to ultimate yaris handling - Toyota Yaris Forums

Loren · 02-20-2009, 10:18 AM

Tamago, I thought about the hub/axle interface some more, and concluded that the forces at play there are NOT like the forces put on the mating surface of the wheels. The wheels are pushed almost straight UP when they receive their greatest forces (hitting a hard bump). The hub junction is effectively being bent upwards at an angle rather than forced straight up. The major forces should be on the lower hub bolts, which are probably pretty beefy high-grade bolts. So, with that, I'll rescind my previously stated concern... thin high-grade washers used there should be okay for adjusting the rear alignment. Thanks for setting me straight and making me think about it some more!

Hmmm... now do I want to mess with it?

Yes you do. I did on the old solid axle CRXs. It worked great.
