  1. So the story is - bought Alto works ies, with new sr shocks and rs-r coils, tried to drive on eastern european roads and was getting kicked out of the seat. Bought some used ha23 suspension from japan, changed rear springs and front struts/coilovers. Car sits about ยด4cm higher.
  2.  
  3. this is my firt time working on mc pherson and i'm very confused here, mostly about the top mounts,
  4.  
  5. Alto works IES is SOHC model, but it does not have power steering.
  6. The rear spings are different design (even number of coils is about half) then the rs-r ones.
  7. I know marty changed top mounts on the mira for balljoint ones, but said it is probably not necessary.
  8.  
  9. With these things in mind:
  10. Positive things after the change:
  11. Car really sits at least 4 cm higher
  12. I'm no longer kicked out of the seat on the bumps and even cellphone can stay on the dashbord if i place it there.
  13.  
  14. The issues:
  15. Even without power steering there is almost no feel in the steering wheel and not much effort is required to turn the wheel, even when standing it is not much,
  16. n turns it feels like lot of torque steer, but it is probably not torque steer,
  17. on the bumps car jumps left or right in the turns (it really did not even on that super hard jdm suspension)
  18. there is huge camber on front wheels now, i thing at least about 6 deg. negative. It can be seen at first glance,
  19. Also it feels like steering wheel is not returning like it should after turn, like it moves by itself in turn and then return like it should (even after adjusting everything to be toe in).
  20. We thought there was tow out also after the change, so we adjusted it without any measurement so it has tow in that can be seen by eye, but barely - steering feel and instability on the road did not change
  21. Now the issue with top mounts - ones on "newsr" shock i can clearly spin, on the ones from standard alto, there si rubbery feeling, and it squeaks a lot when trying to spin it.
  22.  
  23. I understand, that camber issue could be fixed by drillig shoc top hole and mounting it after that, it is gheto mod, but probably easiest way. Car is now probably higher then it is stock.
  24.  
  25. Is RS-R suspension stock, by any chance? It id not have noticable + or - camber with it.
  26. [b]Is there any way to adjust camber on alto works?![/b]
  27.  
  28. [b]Can all the issues with steering and unstability be caused by bad shock top mounts?[/b]
  29.  
  30. I know MCM works on the Mira it would be awesome to get some reply as I think they can know something about it. I don't know any trustworthy source about these things here.
