Rear suspension - Toyota Yaris Forums

Maitre_Te_Te · 11-12-2009, 10:57 PM

Sorry for my english.

I have an yaris 1.5L

I don't know why but check your reat suspension. The rear suspension assembly can be jack 2 inchs at the pivot.

Do you know why?

Loren · 11-13-2009, 12:34 AM

Oh, I like that one!

I'd have to go out and look at the car and really think about it... but do you suppose that it's a factory designed option to improve the geometry of the rear suspension for a lowered "sport" version?

Interesting.

cali yaris · 11-13-2009, 12:55 AM

definitely, I'll be under my car looking at that too - never noticed before, I wonder.

Maitre_Te_Te · 11-13-2009, 07:55 AM

With the original car, the rear suspension have for example 35 degree. If you drop your car, the rear angle is not the same, it's maybe 20 degree. If you jack your pivot 2 about inch, you can not have the exactly 35 degree beacause you know you can drop 2 inch, 1.5 inch, 1 inch, But you can have 30 degree. So, If your drop is 1 ich, I think that this mod is not important.

I look under the car et I think that the gaz tank and other thing is not a problem.

Tell me about your impression!

Don't forget, in japan, you have a race series with a yaris (vits and vios) and maybe toyota have do this mod option for the race series!

Ok so it was really slow at work today and I thought I would move my axle to this new discovered position. Right now I am running DF210's and a TRD rear sway bar I also am only running on stock wheels, tires, and shocks. After I moved my axle I took a quick test drive and......... OMG it is freaking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The car feels completely different better turn in and feels like it has less body roll than before!!!! I took me about 30 mins to an hour to move my axle (I think this was easier to do with my car on a lift then just jacking it up although it could be done that way) I say if you want to expirement I say do it because it is easy to return to stock if need be!!! Hope this helps you out!!! if you have any questions let me know

I dont suppose you could put better photo's up

Thirty-Nine · 11-13-2009, 10:04 PM

I'll have to take a look at this. My coilovers make the rear sit lower than I want already, though ...

advocate · 11-13-2009, 10:12 PM

Interesting find for sure. Anybody else going to give it a try?

I will take my camera to work tomorrow and show you where this is and how it looks. OOOHHHHHH and just ot let you know it actually does not lower the car any. I thought it was going to because the holes are like 2-3" apart but I still have the same ride hight!!!

Maitre_Te_Te · 11-14-2009, 02:22 AM

I don't know what, but I think that you will say "tank you" for this mod !!! :P

, peterpoop loves you

bad joke sorry .

Cosmonaut · 11-14-2009, 02:57 AM

i am very curious about this now.

WolfWings · 11-14-2009, 03:17 AM

I'm not running lowered, but I'm tempted to try this and see how things change. May be one of those 'harsher/noisier ride' changed that has no downsides for handling even for non-lowered perhaps?

2006fronty · 11-14-2009, 06:34 AM

Isn't this just changing the instant center? Or is anti-squat what it changes???
