rear beam question: one wheels sticks out more
i don't know if this has been covered or not but:
has anyone else who is super low notice that the rear beam appears to not be even on each side? one wheel seems to stick out 1/4-1/2 inch more on one side than the other. am i the only one? is there a way to even it out?

This seems to be a common issue on the 2nd gen Yaris. I have rear spacers and the passenger one sticks out a bit more (enough to rub the tire against the wheel well).
The only way for me to fix it is by replacing it for a slimmer one, but I've been putting it off for years.

I don't think it's fixable. It came from factory this way.
The rear right sticks out about 1/4~1/2" on mine as well. The only way to make it aesthetically balanced is to put a 3~5mm shim on the left side. Weird, I know. |

I dont notice it on my sedan. Mine look to poke evenly and if anything, my driver side rubs more but i think that is due to weight distribution and seat position. Ive heard this for years with the hatch tho

The body of the car, not the beam is the cause of the liftback. For some odd reason the left side pocket for the beam pivot mount is 13 mm further in than the one on the right side. So, the right side wheel sticks out 13mm further than the left side. Using a 15mm Penguin hub space on just the left side makes them about as close as you can get to even.

I'm running 10mm spacers on both sides with the right side rub driving me nuts when vehicle is semi-weighted down. Guess I should remove right side spacer and be close to equal on both sides then.

We should sell a 5m/10mm Yaris spacer combo.

Dang, we were hoping to even it out somehow. Drivers side sits perfect, if only we could bring the pass side in a little!

WTH!! I plan on dropping mine to a 1.9 all around, but I'm afraid I will regret it later.
