Post Pics of MKIII's with MKIV TT Rims

Adjusting the stops is a pretty easy thing once you stick your head under the car and take a look. It has been a number of years since I did mine.

Note... this is also a VERY good time to replace the wheel stop caps (a small plastic cap that keeps the metal from hitting metal when turning full lock - these are very inexpensive and should still be available from your friendly parts department).

Here's what I did.

1. Jack up the front of the car - both sides.
2. Turn the wheels full lock to the right
3. Look at the right wheel and see what hits - or is close to hitting. That is your wheel stop.
4. Turn wheels straight again.
5. Use the correct wrench to back the stops out a bit.
6. Turn wheels full lock both directions and make sure they don't hit.

Once you know where the stops are you can make the adjustments without jacking up the car. This is good for those times when you need to make just a tiny adjustment more to stop the scraping.

To replace the stop cap (assuming you have the new ones ready to go).

1. While the car is jacked up locate the old stop cap - probably has a hole worn through it from years of rubbing - and pry it off.
2. Snap the new cap on
3. Have a beer.

Like I said you will figure it out pretty quickly once you stick your head under the car.

Thanks. I've had my head under my car a fair bit, guess I never noticed them. Are they on every MKIII? Mine is a TTR. I'll have my car on a hoist tomorrow night so I can adjust them then if my car has them.

I can't think of any reasons that only some Supras would have the stops - or that only some cars would have the stops.

They are easy to miss if you haven't been looking for them... but they should jump right out at you when you are looking for them.
