In this guide, we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the control arm of the Honda Civic. First, let's lift the vehicle and start disassembling and removing the front wheel; then we will unscrew the nut and the counter-nut of the control arm, disconnecting it from the stabilizer bar. At this point, let's unscrew the screws of the brackets to remove them as well, thus removing the control arm; we will replace it with the new original one, also replacing the screws and bolts if necessary.

In the same way, we will also replace the other control arm.

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.
