Let's see how to replace the stabiliser bar link on a Renault Clio II: loosen the nuts on the front wheels and then lift the car, supporting it on secure axle stands. Apply some penetrating grease (such as MA professional 20-A102, which can be found on auto-doc.co.uk with code 20-A102 for £4.68 for a 50g tube + £9.95 shipping) on the nuts of the old link: these are often rusted and seized.

Disconnect the steering end from the hub to create more space. If the nuts are completely seized, you can cut them with a hacksaw.

Slightly lift the wishbone and insert the new link into the stabiliser bar. Insert the upper washer, compressing the central washer with locking pliers, then hand-tighten the nut for the first few turns, tightening it with a spanner afterwards. If you removed it, reattach the steering end, refit the wheels, tighten the nuts, and take a test drive in a quiet area.

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.
