Hi.. I noticed when my latio is full load, i always kana the kerb when i do reverse parking.
Its always the small metal hook that knocked into the kerb, is this normal for latio?

very normal bro, i always kena also.. wonder how come the hook never broke.. thats why i'm always very cautious when reversing

any solutions anyone ?

will changing to a stiffer suspension work ?

The hook is for towing.....in most countries, other than Sg, it is compulsory to have a hook at the rear of the car for towing.....since our car is JDI, hence it comes with the hook too....dun think u can do anything to it other than be careful when reverse parking wit full load.....

I also kanna also when i full load for back passenger.

But i tot the first thing to hit kerb is the exhaust and not the hook?

whack until numb le =) .. exhaust needed to be bent back once..

THe suspension is too soft and thus it will always bottom out.

ya, with bodykit...
got to be EXTRA careful whether reverse or head

btw, notice spore hump or kerb dun have standard height.
nowadays hump is getting steeper and higher

Latio's front, even without body kit is low. I have hit the kerb several times when parking. Luckily the lower potion is black, so the scratches cannot be seen.

ya.. sometimes if travel to not so familiar places better to drive with care... even carpark humps at shopping malls are getting steeper oso....

My front kana few times liao. Bodykit bad scratches. 1st time went for touch up. Subsequents times get used to it liao, dun bother anymore.

Back wise kana once the exhaust...too high the kerb. Also dun care

Midnight · « **Reply #12 on:** April 21, 2009, 11:14:02 PM »

My front body kit also kanna. Too low le la... front and back same. Just got to be careful when parking next time.

But sometimes really bobian because some lots the 'depth' very shallow, so have to reverse park all the way, then exhaust kanna kerb. :-p

clarence · « **Reply #13 on:** April 22, 2009, 04:07:56 AM »

I think its all a matter of geting used to it.

The main culprit are the low rear tow hook & exhaust pipe.

you are not alone bro.

Always reverse very slowly, and try not to allow the wheels touch the kerb. This will minimise the hit and demage caused.

thats wat i do normally too.. also try to open ur door slightly when reversing backside in...

leolooi · « **Reply #17 on:** April 23, 2009, 09:27:37 AM »

no choice one...tin is design intent....anyway previously still install additional exhaust head end up take off also cause too may "rubbing" liao

.....anyway, if got intention to lower your ride with lower suspension...you may have to take note as well....

MadMatty · « **Reply #18 on:** May 02, 2009, 03:24:25 PM »

Kena the tow eyelet not so bad cos it suppose to be toughen steel...as long as don't kena the exhaust..
