Did you lower your car? The lowering could have affected the camber and toe.

I have that problem from day 1 too but i had allignment done on it twice, adjusted the steering wheel, wheels rotated, tyre pressures checked and had everything else checked. I don't notice it now with 8000kms. Maybe i just got used to it? But i do feel the steering wheel being over sensitive at low speeds. It picks up every bump and the tiniest of pot-hole on the road.

My car the left pull right from day one as soon as i drove it out of the dealership, i noticed it also. hmmm <_<

I mentioned it to the service guy at my first and second service and nothing was done to correct it. they just kind of ignore the fact that i mentioned it.

on the topic of brakes i want to change my brake pads. i find they are too soft therefore i get a lot of brake dust and my rotor is lipping a lot. has anyone looked at changing their brake pads to reduce brake dust? is bendix good to try for street driving and heavy braking from time to time?

too much brake dust? good thing u didn't get anything european. those things turn silver rims into black ones in 3 days!

but yeah, bendix i found them a bit harsh on rotors but i'm not sure about how they would work with corolla ones tho :unsure:

I heard lucas pads are good for our driving style.

lucas have a fairly soft compound and generate quite a bit of dust. just remembered EBC greenstuff is quite clean and pretty good. but dunno if they make pads for us.

Brake Pads, no it will not effect wheel alignment.  Rotors, I do not know with the Stivo, maybe it will, maybe it won't.  Give them a call and ask them, then post the resolution on the forum for all of us to know.

they told me no because there are no change in angles.

changing brake pads will not effect your allignment. The only way you can mess with your alignment is if you touch your lower ball-joint, strut top or tie-rods. Changing your brake pads only require you to take the caliper off the knuckle. so i wouldn't worry about it.

also, changing rotor will not do anything to the wheel alignment. the rotor is not even bolted on. it sits between the hub and the wheel. it's clamped i place by the caliper. once the caliper comes off the rotor just slides off.

hope this helps :D

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
