alignment off? - Toyota Yaris Forums

turns out my front passenger tire was toed a little off and cambered a bit, and the drivers side was cambered just enough to wear, but not enough to affect driving( other than my slight going left issue). they said the drivers side shock tower "floats" just a little, like less than 1 degree. would new suspension fix this?

The difficulty here is a language one, being on the other side of the Atlantic I do not understand the term 'floats' Do they mean that the top shock absorber mounting/bearing is worn? if so it requires replacement. Are the shock absorbers leaking? More precise information needed to help more.

He didn't say much else about it, so I assume something that keeps it all in place lol. Going to look it all over and see what's loose.
