Hey supra fanatics, any of you know of a shop in the local or surrounding area that you've done or know of someone who has done a wheel alignment on the supra with aftermarket springs? My local toyota dealership just denied it even with me paying out of pocket. Your feedback is much appreciated.
You can lift the boot to see if they're on there. The only way to remove them is to remove the shock and pull the top hat off. If you're not already going to remove them to do some work, best to take it into the dealer to have them removed.
Update:
Received the sleeves from H&R. They sent me four individual sleeves, enough for one coil loop per spring. I captured photos of the coils to show the coil spacing with the car lowered to the ground and with it raised up on the jack. There is literally no spacing between the top 3 coils...
I'm referring to the dust boot. See images below. #4 in the official Toyota diagram. There are bearings in the boot. I have seen videos where the top section of the bearings are damaged so the car makes sounds. If your shop is reputable, I'm sure they will be more than willing to help...
The less obvious thing to check is whether the factory shipping spacers are in the shocks still. You mentioned that you took it to a shop. You should ask them if they saw the spacers there or not. They look like these ones below. You can verify with just the front wheels off by pulling up the...
Your wheel gap is too large. You should check that you don't have those factory spacers left on your shocks. Here's my ride with the same H&R springs and Burgers 13 mm front and 15 mm rear spacers. I only have a finger sized gap between the tires and the fender well. Maybe it's just the angle.
I installed H&R springs and I hear the rear chatter. Just called up H&R's toll free number and informed them of the situation and my make and model. They are sending me sleeves for free. They told me that they provide sleeves for other springs on different cars, but not for the Supras. Maybe...
Just installed my ZL1 guards. Everything looks good and functional like the other posts, however, there is an exception I'd like to take on one particular angle on the rear guards. The standoffs are white, and I really wish they were black. You can clearly see the standoff if you're looking...
I've been in semi major wrecks 10+ years ago. All of which were not my fault. Keep and provide all receipts for parts and labor to the adjuster, be it from your insurance or the other party's. See a medical provider right away for your pain and suffering. Lawyers can be or not be necessary. If...
