1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Interesting. Now I can drive that damn truck so fast without vibes that if I got stopped by a state police, I would be thrown under the jail.

Its hard to resist the running the little race truck.

 

Measuring the joint angle is simple enough. Tundra and both tacos were fine.

 

I won't do it all the time.. Its just easy to do.. The tires, size, and wheel combo helps it hug the road.

 

i try to keep it under 90 in the trucks.... gas mileage really takes a hit at above that. tundra gets its best at 65. tacos about 65 too.

 

Holy shit, that's allota driving in that time!

 

my avalon? hell at 140 mph shes smooth as can be. i actually have to keep telling my self to slow down

 

7 days a week at least 140 miles a day will do that.

 

multi-link rear with McPherson front. and some 17" wheels fuckers damn near silent even at that speed inside

 

That's basically my Z except the t-top covers in the back area might fly from one side to the other and you can probably get away with it at 50mph if the pavement is dry

 

avalon corners really well. just loads of body roll. but lots of control.

 

Yeah but other than everything being new, it's still stock replacement stuff minus the poly bushings everywhere. The trailing arm rear and McPherson front handles well but it could do better if I lowered it and fixed the rear camber

 

the corolla. with all original suspension except struts... handles like a god damn dream. Original ball joints, control arms, bushings, tie rods. etc. She handles just as good as a new one.

 

truck body roll vs car body roll is way more dangerous to drive stupid...

 

Lol really, I never knew that

 

im sure you know. you know who that was targeted at

 

My taco is smooth as glass with only 1.5" of lift and 3 degree shims. Most say to only shim after 2", I'd do it on any amount of lift.

The 2nd gens are more finicky. Took 2 degree shims and a carrier bearing drop to get the 08 smooth in the back. And the stupid ecgs needle bearing fix for the front diff.

 

fun fact. the 4runner AWD differentials dont have the needle bearings. swap one in and no more vibe worries!

 

Recognize any of this?

 

The spacer no, the poly tension rod bushing yes

 

Eh, we're close enough to ecgs so he just took it straight to them to have it done. $160 and no problems since. Except they found a bad rear wheel bearing and tacked $600 on top of the bill to fix it.
