Wandering on the Highway
I have found that my Yaris (2007 3 Dr RS LB) wanders on the highway .. and I am interested in what suggestions that anyone may have about it.
I am going for a trip on the highway today .. so I shall see how it performs. I am thinking about getting a TRD Rear Sway Bar .. as I have read that it may help. What do you think ? |

Adding an anti-sway bar works wonders. I did one prior to my other suspension mod's and it was instant relief from the hiway blues.

I didn't find it that bad today ... but there are still issues. I just got new tires so getting other tires is not going to happen. But the sway bar is an option for the future. I am not really into making tons of suspension mods as really I drive 90% in the city and mostly under 60 km/h ... and I take the corners slowly so I do take things pretty easy.
 My car is 100% stock .. but some minor mod (like a sway bar) could be something I could squeeze in. It is just that if I do go on the highway .. I would like things to be a little more relaxed (can I say straight) and a little less white knuckle driving. |

If it just started and you just got new tires you could take it back to the tire shop to make sure the alignment is correct.
But a rear sway bar($199.75) and lowering springs are the usual fix.

I sent an email to one of the local Toyota dealers re the TRD Sway Bar .. and they say that there is no TRD Rear Sway Bar for a 2007 Yaris. I think they are on crack as I have seen them advertised on Ebay.
