Diesel wagon Struts

Postby dxtawagon » Sat Nov 13, 2010 6:03 pm

Hey,

I have a ce106 diesel corolla wagon 1993.

leaf springs in the back

Do the same year corolla front struts fit? like the fxgt/sedans etc.

Cheers

yes, front suspension is the same, only difference is the deisel get heavier springs to compensate for the extra engine weight

cheers man,

Yea its my mates car and he reckons it handles like a boat round corners. But it sounds like putting other corolla springs in the front will be even softer?

don't think he wants to go lower so what options would he have to stiffen up the front?

The rear is leafs so only option for the back would be getting an extra leaf put in..?

it probably has no rear swaybar, and the front may not either, be worth a look

How good are the shocks that are in there? Might just be in need of replacing, which certainly aids in handling :)
