How to change the shock absorbers of a Toyota Yaris XP10

Model: Toyota Yaris Xp10 - Years 1999-2005
Part: Shocks

Let's see how to change the front shock absorbers of a Toyota Yaris XP10: of course, the car needs to be lifted a bit and then the wheels need to be removed, then the two hub nuts need to be removed, we remove the sensors found on the hub, then we remove the three bolts on the upper strut, and at this point the shock absorber comes down and we will put it in a vice to disassemble it. The spring must remain compressed, and for this there is a specific tool, a compressor that we can find on Amazon with the code B01HGFKCMM at the price of 26.98 euros, free delivery for Prime customers. With a 17 ratchet screw we unscrew the central screw of the shock absorber, so that we can remove the cover, the dust cover, the pad and then the spring. Now let's see the new shock absorber: we can recommend the website fabioizzoautoricambi. It with the code 16289 - 333368, where the pair costs 49.18 euros (there is no information on shipping costs). We put new pad and dust cover, place the spring that is held by the tool and then put on the cover. Now we have to put it back in position, putting all the bolts, lower and upper, and all the sensors in their place.
