WEIRD RUBBING PROBLEM - Toyota Yaris Forums

webomatics · 06-26-2007, 10:37 PM

Well in went to my mechanic today and he basically told me that there was nothing he could do. The problem seems to be a factory defect on the cars rear torsion beam . I would not be noticeable with stock wheels but after I dropped it was clear. I also noticed were the rubbing was happening (on the piece of plastic/metal liner that separates the quarter panel with the rear bumper) I have filed it with my dremmel and will test if the rubbing goes away. It still disappointing that you have to deal with this problem on a brand new car. If any of you guys have noticed this what has been your approach?
