How to remove and replace the rear shock absorber in a 1999 to 2005 Toyota Yaris. When refitting the nuts to the upper end of the strut, install the lower nut and tighten it until the piston rod protrudes about 15mm to 18mm through the nut and then, while holding the lower nut in place, tighten the upper nut against the lower nut to 25 Nm (18 foot pounds). The lower strut mounting nut should be torqued to 49 Nm (36 foot pounds).

Doing this on a Yaris Sedan is a little more of a pain. There is moulding you must remove and the top nuts are in a small space. Its more difficult to do than the hatchback

Thank you. I haven't worked on that Yaris model but I'm sure it will be quite similar to this process but removing the trim to reach the upper mountings might be more difficult.

@demeaningplebny1363 8 ай бұрын

QUESTION (maybe dumb): So, when you go to torque the top nut, what do you do if the threaded center just spins? Yes, you can initially tighten with 2 open end wrenches, one securing the center that wants to spin. But, when you put a socket on there to torque the nut, how do you torque it if that center still spins?

@screwsnutsandbolts 8 ай бұрын

The manual states that you only have to torque the top nut of the two that screw onto the top of the piston rod, so you can hold the bottom nut with an open ended spanner as you torque the top one.

@AlexisRubik Жыл бұрын

Is it necessary to remove the wheel?, or you can do it on some ramps so you can simply have more space under the car in the back?

Im sure it's possible to do with the wheel on if you have the right equipment

Hello, he leaking shock will get worse over time and could affect the cars handling. I would replace the two shocks asap as changing just one could also badly affect the handling.

the rubber casing on it shouldn't be easily moved up and down, right? Like just with your hand. The rubber sits low and I'm able to move it without much effort.

@screwsnutsandbolts 2 жыл бұрын

That's a dust cover. They sometimes break or come loose but it's not an emergency and doesn't affect how the shock works in the short term. However, it should be replaced before damage to the shock itself occurs

@mazdaman1286 2 ай бұрын

THIS IS WRONG the final fitting of the top nut should be taken down so there is a distance of 15 to 18 mm between the top face of the nut and the top of the strut. then the lock nut is put on and tightened. Doing it this way as shown will compress the rubber bushes until they are nearly solid and give a very harsh ride. Rubber bushes are there to give a progression to the application of the shock absorber and to insulate the noise from the body.
