Rear Shock Absorber Replacement

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

Replacing the rear shock absorbers is straightforward since the spring and damper are not co-axial. Once you have lifted the vehicle, remove the rear wheel and place a support jack under the suspension before removing the lower mounting bolt of the shock absorber. Lower the vehicle to access the boot area, remove the cap on the shock absorber dome, and undo the nut securing the upper mount. Then, work in reverse by first securing the top of the rod, then lift the suspension and secure the bottom.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
