Super TestCar reviews - Toyota - Corolla - Ultima sedanToyota modelsSuspension15 Feb 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON COROLLA'S suspension is an all-independent affair with MacPherson struts front and rear. Local development work aimed to improve the ride and handling characteristics. In particular, spring and damper rates and stabiliser bar diameters were tailored to achieve more neutral handling and better traction. Changes include new springs, the addition of front lower arms, a revised rear mounting point and a vertical mounting bush for front lower arms. There are now ball-joint mounted stabiliser bars front and rear, while a new lever arm was added to the front stabiliser bar. Dampers include internal rebound springs for the rear units and two-stage dampers front and rear. Tyre selection aimed to improve grip.
