suspension shouldn't bother u either, neither would it hinder u from buying d ride. It is everything about the front wheel. From shocks, tie-rod, bow joint, bushings, steering rack etc. They r changeable. But fake full. Just ready to change unless u get OEM.

also, ac compressor. Check weda it has been reconstructed to peugeot 508 own. grin

this corolla compressor fails anyhow.

You are damn right about the compressor stuff. Once the automatic have sensor issue the only solution is to put manual compressor ( Peugeot 508) and the life of the AC will never be the same again grin

All models of corrola. Toyota moved to automatic Compressors to improve fuel economy, not minding durability. Honda did not move unless in their CVT vehicles.

All corrolla do have it. Not that many of them do have the problems sha but once spoit the automatic compressor can't b replaced. You have to put manual.
