Re: toyota levin wheel alignment

Sorry if I'm stupid about this car... What is the problem? Is the alignment problem caused by the lowering? or is it a general problem with the front suspension on the car? or is it broken? or what?

wheel alignment problem is caused when the vehicle was lowered however most of these vehicles have been lowered.because of the superstrut supension (original equipment) no adjustment can b made.

Re: toyota levin wheel alignment

Thanks for the explanation. I think I understand. You have to set the alignment correctly when you lower it since once it is done, no further adjustment is possible.

Is it possible to insert (by cutting and welding) adjustment devices from other vehicles, perhaps a similar car from a different market or model year?
