ask them check it again and make sure both tires air pressure is equal and also check to see if ur current tires are cutting on the inside.

Im probably late here but, a couple things other than camber could cause this eh, although i find the alignment boys should have checked this too but anyway. Caster could cause you to pull. The alignment guys will say thats not adjustable but the boys at milage mack loosen yah cradle arm and get a lil play which is usually enough to sort it out once the car hasnt been hit and thats the reason. Your bushings could have started to break down and are causing excessive play in the cradle arm when u go over road thats not perfect. Your tire pressure could be off in one particular tire check all yah pressure and for gods sake dont run 28 psi like the tire guys down here tell u. run atleast 32 minimum. Lastly yah tires could be worn and ready to change. Thats about all i could think of. I know milage mack is expensive and take fkn forever to get through and its in town but i realy have had great results with those guys i think they know there sheit.
Sorry if i rambled. Hope it helps. Let me know what it was.

Kayaba excel-G and B&G lowering springs work like chinee lobourers....

i used to bounce all over the place, and roll like i on the jolly rogers, but this combo has ended all that crap..... :twisted:

Installed my TRD rear sway bar (20mm) with TRD poly bushings, very nice upgrade to the stock 14mm rear bar, haven't put the car through any real cornering yet but I did have to jack up the front to change a belt and I used a regular jack at the front jack point and surprisingly both the front and rear tyres came off the ground :shock:

would love the full TRD poly bushings set up but I'd have to track it in Japan as it's discontinued

I jus want a stiffer springs for my AE110. What toyota comes wit stiff springs that will work on my AE110? I'm not ready for coilovers so i jus want the springs for now.

Postby **eliteauto** » April 10th, 2009, 1:02 am

^^The springs off the AE111 Levin/Trueno will give you a decent drop and stiffer spring rates, or you can get aftermarket stuff from Tein etc

Postby **eliteauto** » April 20th, 2009, 12:28 pm

Anyone ever did poly bushings on the suspension of the AE101/111 Levin/Trueno/Corolla GT? I need some part#s and reviews

yeah partner i have a few pairs of levin/trueno springs if u looking

The benefits of poly are seen in a stiffer ride , coupled with a little less slop in terms of the cornering abillity of the vehicle, however those bushings doo crack with time as they were not meant for daily driven cars.They are also susceptible to road grime and oils damaging them easily.

TRD12 · Postby **TRD12** » April 20th, 2009, 7:46 pm

trdboy, how much u want for the spring?

trdboy · Postby **trdboy** » April 21st, 2009, 10:36 am

TRD12 · Postby **TRD12** » April 21st, 2009, 8:22 pm

trdboy, pm me a contac and a location nah. so i could make sure they look stiffer than what i have now.

on another note. I was told that the Caldina springs are much stiffer, can i use those in the back?

Postby **eliteauto** » June 5th, 2009, 9:26 am

^^^ you can swap out the stock ones for the Levin/Trueno ones approx 1" drop over stock with compensatory increase in spring rate

Postby **eliteauto** » July 4th, 2009, 8:25 pm

If anyone's interested I have a complete shock and spring set up for sale $2500 neg in excellent condition including OEM Toyota AE111 shocks with the thicker shaft and green lowering springs ( look like Teins )

Postby **eliteauto** » July 10th, 2009, 2:13 pm

top mount OEM bars ( ones bolting to the firewall ) can be fund in the Bamboo rear bars are harder to get because they throw them away when scrapping cars in Japan

Postby **eliteauto** » July 20th, 2009, 11:39 am

ahhhhhh thanks to tte, for his advice, I gave the car a go at solodex yesterday and I'm very happy with the stability of the car now, the driver's skill just needs to improve to work in sync with it :mrgreen:
