2008 Toyota Yaris Shock Absorber Parts Q&A

• Q: How to reassemble the front shock absorber with coil spring on 2008 Toyota Yaris?

  A: The installation of the strut mounting bearing onto the coil spring seat upper requires utilization of a brass bar and press for proper assembly. Use Special Service Tool: 09727-30021 together with 09727-00010, 09727-00021, and 09727-00031 to compress the coil spring while preventing damage by abstaining from using an impact wrench before placing the coil spring correctly on the shock absorber so the small end points towards the top part. After the front upper coil spring insulator and front spring bumper should be installed. The front spring bumper should be set in the proper position relative to the upper coil spring seat air discharge groove and rib part before permanent insertion. After installing the front upper coil spring seat it can be mounted onto the shock absorber using both the strut mounting bearing and the spring bumper. The new nut on the front support to front shock absorber requires tightness provision with removal of the Special Service Tool from the front coil spring followed by application of socket hexagon wrench 6 to fasten the shock absorber rod before tightening to 33 Nm (340 kgf-cm, 25 ft-lbf). At the final step, fit the front suspension support sub-assembly.
