so this risk never goes away? even with wide wheels and stretched tires?

 

Ask jaewrek he is putting it to the limit. I have to be very cautious on turns and drive ways..things of that nature.

 

My only advice is keep your wheels straight whenever you go over something that pushes your suspension up. Driveways, speed bumps, turns with random ___ bumps.
Every time my fenders dented in was after going up a drive way.

I think stiffer springs would help, because your suspension wouldn't travel as much.
I'd assume camber would help. I don't know cause I don't have any =(
But I also thought it might make things worse if the wheel is cambered in, when you take sharp turns I think the upper rear portion of the tire would stick out more during a turn than if it wasn't cambered in. *shrug*

 

you guys do know there's more to it than just camber, right? caster can also be changed so that when you turn, your wheels camber in. if suspension travel is an issue, just stick in a spring spacer. or get air cups lawl

 

Air cups?

 

No I did not..how is that achieved??

 

Ya, I've been looking up how to adjust caster, no luck care to elaborate?

Basically little air bags that go on top of coilovers so you can get air ride adjustability and coilover performance. they cost just as much as airbags... so yeah, probably not something for scions.

caster:
To give you a visual example, look at the front of this

That's hella caster right there. I'm sure you can guess that a car's steering angle is a lot more perpendicular to the ground than that. I suck at explaining things, so

wikipedia does wonders, btw.

if you want to adjust it, i would definitely say go to an alignment shop. Just like adjusting camber and toe on stock bolts/arms, It's not an easy task, and i'm not even sure if it's possible to adjust all too much on our cars.

 

^i know what caster is, but im sure there is no caster adjustability on our tc's

 

Caster is not adjustable on the tC that I know of

 

if you have coilovers with adjustable pillow mounts then you can.

 

adjustable pillow mounts allow camber adjustment, i havent seen one yet with caster.

 

what if you mount the top hat so it adjusts it front and back instead of left and right? lol

 

 

some wont do that, and then you lose camber adjustments. plus im not sure if that will even work.

 

you can do that. That was what I was referring too. Then get ingalls camber bolts for the front. Best of both worlds I currently have this kit on each side running a little over -2* of camber (had to do this since the HKS coils don't have adjustable pillow mounts).

This guy did this a while back I believe.

didnt even think about that, but yes hes right! although its only gonna be a max of 2 inches i think and i dont think that would fix the issue..

im just gonna be as careful as possible,lol

 

I believe the rears have factory caster adjustment. Its the bolt on the chassis side of the rear camber arms.

*Edited* my bad I meant toe lol

 

thats camber. i know for a fact there isnt caster adjustment for the rear
