AE111 car lower on one side..

[intel2800]

hello.. i have some problem on my AE111 SEG that already been bother me for about 2 years already.. i realize that my car are lower on the driver side only, and i don't know what to do on it already.. i already change the absorber already.. spring not yet been changed.. i heard the AE111 Levin Japan spring are higher than the AE111 local made, is it true? and also i heard the spring from corona st171, st191, st202 and st205 can be use on AE111, is this true also? please need some advice on it..

try to add hard rubber on the base of the absorber... i did that on my ae111.. ok la... cheap fix.. haven't tried changing the spring but spring do tend to lose power over time...

usually we drive alone, so more force acts on the driver side, hence load is applied on the absorber and the spring on driver side. I believe ur springs may be weak, so it's advisable to change the spring for both sides. since u said u changed the absorber, i believe the spring is the thing that gives you the prob..

i already use a spring buffer each side and its still the same as usual.. i been thinking to use a corona st171 or later version of it spring to use on it, coz i heard its more harder than the ori ae111 spring and no need mod on it.. but hard to find even at half cut shop..

yes bro, it's lower at one side. I've settled it by install a hi-lo adjustable absorber.
good luck

Change the spring (both side).
Don't change to other model's spring coz it will not mated with your damper and will results in annoying ride feeling. Unless you change the damper together to that model's (provided it can fit to your model).
If you want to improve your handling and still remain the comfort ride, look for those after market absorber that comes together with lower spring, ie:

already changed it.. buy an APM brand spring.. much harder than the ori from toyota.. hoho.. but they sell it here sabah a lot pricey la, about RM98 per 1 spring for the rear one..

i guess tat's quite standard price. I got my improve springs here in miri for RM130 per piece. Not to say as good as those big brands, but boleh tahan la..

bro intel n tony... how's d spring? can accommodate full load at high speed .. planning to change mine either in kk or miri as i travel here n there...

 

[intel2800]

i don't test it on full load yet.. coz i rarely bring any passenger to sit back at the rear sit.. i usually driving alone and smtimes with my at the front.. i buy it at Hap Seng Heng auto at kolombong inanam KK.. and also i put the spring another new buffer to prolong the spring life span of the rear spring.. a bit hard when through a bumpy road especially at from Labuan to Ranau to Labuan.. i also store a lowed sport spring, but i dont liked to used it due lower height of the car, make me hear a scratching noise when i trying through a road bump...

i faced this prob long ago. u just need to change front spring only, both spring.

i suggest u get levin springs from halfcut, much cheaper than new sport springs and more comfort.
