It was just a bad VSC programming in the first place....most of the stabilization control systems use brakes in 4x2 vehicles , so software update is logical approach , and I'm sure all cars would be marked for the update without even customers knowing about it during next maintenance schedule at a dealer or distributors will inform about a "recall" by post. I bought used Lexus IS250 and when i was asking the dealer or Toyota distributor about some other stuff they sent me a recall notice afterwards by post and later on they pointed out the recall when i asked them again about something else by email. Also I worked at a Renault dealership , we often fixed "yellow recall" stuff without even customers knowing about it. We had the parts on stock and when it came up we just replaced the parts.

The anti-roll bars might weight the same as the doors, BUT, the farther they are from the rotation point of the vehicle (center of gravity), the more they will cause body roll. It is exactly the same effect as the distance of the center of gravity to the ground. Your anti-roll are about half meter farther outwards... So, props for Toyota for allowing such a modification.
@cyclist3969 Жыл бұрын
I think they are props too, if the car modifications work, they would run the test without the outriggers. How does the mass of the outriggers work, think of a pole with weights on each end ( a dumbbell pole ) imagine twirling the dumbbell pole like a leader of a marching band, if the pole is long it will be slow to twirl, if the pole is short it will twirl rapidly. in the test that outrigger slows down the roll rate of the car during the swerve. I think the test is bogus and not representative of the normal characteristics of the car

The thing that has changed is the vehicle’s roll inertia or it’s resistance to roll. If you push on the roof without the outriggers, the car will roll easier than with the outriggers. So if anything the stability is slightly improved here. In my personal opinion, i do not believe the stability was enhanced by the outriggers to a degree in which they prevented any wheel lift.

These weights are still somewhat of a cheat: they may not increase the vehicle's mass, but they increase its moment of inertia. So the vehicle becomes more stable vertically, the effect is akin to making the suspension harder. I don't think the effect is pronounced, but it certainly works towards helping the car pass the test.
