3S-GTE USDM Turbo Engine Warped Trunk?

Tre001 · 03-16-2010, 09:02 PM

My trunk dose not close properly it stays open a little on one side and even after changing the lock and the striker, there is a small play up and down.

And my wing is falling apart i think because of that

out of curiosity, is your car a 91-93? with 94+ i just ask this because, maybe the center panel is interfering with the trunk closing.

Is your lid bent? I read something somewhere about the weight of our spoilers slowly bending the boot lid.

its a 91 jdm its is kind bend like the line with lights on side is higher i will try to take pics tomorrow. and the play up in down look like its coming from the lock.
i just picked up a used lock and striker and it still plays and it is in perfect shape

if the lock has a slide-to-adjust feature that may be the up and down. if it has little screw like rubber plugs that are adjustable check those for one side being higher.

the only other thing i can think of other than bent lid is bent frame. hope its the lid

crank the other one up to force it down. or take it and pop it up and bend it back with your hands. pull on the high side while pushing on the low side.
