How to remove the rear shock absorber on a Fiat Panda? The first step: loosen the wheel nuts, lift the car on a column lift or jack, and remove the rear wheel. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts at the wheel hub (disconnect the brake line clips with a screwdriver).

Unscrew the bolt on the side (top of the shock absorber), and remove the shock absorber from its housing. Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation.

Fit the new shock absorber onto the car, working in reverse order.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
