Brake rebuild and Back end twitching

[Motor]

Two, hopefully simple questions.

First; wondering if anyone knows where I could get a brake rebuild kit for a AE111 (levin twin pots). Checked eBay but didn't find anything.

Secondly; the back end of the starlet (glanza) has been stepping out more often of late and wondering if this could be as a result of worn bushes or anything else getting old and brittle. Or any solutions to stiffen it up etc

Cheers,
Dylan

are your rear calipers seized due to this cold shitty weather?

as for the rebuild kits. go to toyota. the cheaper aftermarket rebuild kits are crap. used one before and it was just no good. wasnt alot cheaper either.

mines is doing the exact same lad and i dont know what it is either. think its the bushing in the panhard rod

i had a whiteline panhard rod come slightly loose on me once. nut couldnt be undone by hand or anything but it was loose enough to make a knocking sound on corners and made the back end feel loose as a 50 year old porn star!

This is weird, the exact same thing is happening to me, its only really happening when i go over tiny bumps. It's never done this in the two years iv'e owned the car.

I was wondering whether it was bushes or maybe the rebound (or whatever its called) of the rear suspension.

It only happens in right hand turns.

Motor, out of interest do you have a rear ARB?

Worn or leaking shocks can cause skipping.

No, it's standard at the back except for MeisterRs all round. They're only two months old too so they're still perfect

The handbrake cable is slightly seized again after the cold but I don't think it's enough to cause as much skipping as is currently occurring. Will check them when I'm rebuilding the front ones.

Thanks for the info aswel Hybrid, be checking local at the weekend but if they're not available I'll let you know
