Can a mechanic convert the annoying solid axle in a Toyota to an independant rear suspension?

Aug 25, 2006 by citrus p. | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

The issue is that Toyota corollas and the Matrix both use the unibar or solid axle in the rear, which creates a very jerky, bumpy, unpleasant ride. Toyota says it changed to the solid axle to keep the cost of these models low. Dumb choice! I don't want

Yes, anything can be done. And, yes, it would be EXTREMELY expensive. I'm afraid your stuck with it.
