Full lock Issues

[Satinepink]

I have a problem guys. Yes, I've changed my drive shaft. Yes, they are brand new. However, when I do a full lock, the seems to be a metal-on-metal grinding sound. This problem existed before I changed my shafts. I figured the inside of my rims was scraping the arm but checked with the alignment guys and that's not the case. They can't figure it out as well...neither can the workshop...

Check your rims. Could be wrong offset.

[Steam]

ya, most probably wrong offset.

[Satinepink]

What do you mean by wrong offset?

[Genie47]

Something to do with the rim spacing from the hub. Starlet is +33 usually.

i had the exact same prob just two months ago.Rims offset was wrong.Had them changed and no probs so far.

[Starletgt]

Cheaper way to reduce the positive offset.... put spacer.....

[Eugene1]

Just checked, i was previously using corolla rims with offset +43-45 i think, so i guess spacers wouldn't have helped.Starlet rims offset should be around +33 right?

[Genie47]

Around +33 to +40. Don't go beyond +40.

[Starletgt]

By right for 15" rims, off set between +36 to +38.

Mine for 16" is +35.

Getting new 16" rims soon... heehee offset +28

[Satinepink]

Bro, you rockin' 16s ah?

 

What's the fc like?

[Starletgt]

full tank can achive between 420km to 480km see light or heavy foot lor...

[Satinepink]

420-480 on 16s..! fwooh!

[Starletgt]

Yup... can achive like 240 at slightly above 1/2 tank mark.

do u get this grinding sound when u turn really slowly or when u turn fast?? i get the sound when i turn fast and found tat the fault aint really a fault bro.. its actualli the heat shield of the brake disk rubbing the disk itself.. at the 6O'clock position of the disk.. u go check..

[Genie47]

Nothing to do with the heat shield on the brakes. It is the offset. Hard turn = weight transfer to the outside. With harder braking plus turn, the weight transfer is more. The inner side of the rim starts to rub onto the lower arm.

Did you go for a computer alignment? Just changed to Potenzas and the grinding sound is irritating. Need to get this fixed. Where did you bring your ride to?

[Eugene1]

I went for alignment countless number of times but still did not solve the prob till i changed my rims.However, after changing, i did have a slight grinding sound on one side and alignment solved that.The previous rims offset was wrong.Will PM you my number,maybe can meet you today.Contact me.
