  1. Rear springs twanging

    in General Problems / Discussion (NOT Geometry Related)

    Posted

    Hi all, was driving yesterday going round some roundabouts and sharp corners and heard a twanging noise (empty and full boot) from the rear springs both side seem to do it and was wondering if the top/strut mountings are on there way out or possibly the shock absorber lower bush, I have a strange knocking noise from the rear too which I can't find,  the mechanic said there is a knocking noise but may or may not be related icon_confused.gif
    I got the trd springs and adjustable dampers so nothing to do with fitting lowering springs to standard dampers, just wondering if someone can shed some light. Its a 1999 Altezza gone 142000 km on the clock.

  5. Wobble from the back

    in General Problems / Discussions

    Hie Tony. Iv a bit of a wobble coming from the back of my car (Altezza AS 200). its always kinda been there as i just thought the springs were crap and old which is why i wanna switch to coilovers but i thought id ask just in case.

    Anyway. When i hit bumps or tiny indents in the road the back of my car will kinda bounce and wobble and people tell me you can feel it in the back of the car.

    And lately when i hit bumps on the road the car will almost kinda slightly jerk me to the side of the bump on the road i hit and it will kind of wobble the car from left to right slightly! It just doesnt hold the road as well as it should. Iv lost confidence in driving it aswell. im always nervous around corners as it just doesnt fell right.

    Any ideas?

  17. Car wobbling , Toyota Altezza AS 200

     Hi Tony

     

    I am new to the site  and was reffered to you by Mike from TezzaWorld. Hope to find much help now and in the future.

     

    Ok, here is my problem.

     

    My tezz has developed this prob and am deeply worried. I took the car to a Toyota guy to change my lower ball joints on Sat (a week ago), and after that took it for tracking and wheel balancing but the car is wobbling like it has low pressure or somethin. This is more pronounced when im driving slowly, like when im doin 40km/hr. No knocking noises from the suspension or what, its smooth and sweet, jus the wobbling which is givin me grave concerns.

    Oh yeah, had 4goten, another prob is I cant drive it with my hands off the steering as its swaving to the left  too bad, I have to drive it with my hand firm on the steering so it keeps goin straight.

     

    Thanks, looking forward to hearing from you.
