2008 Toyota Yaris Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the front Sway Bar Kit and related components on 2008 Toyota Yaris?

  A: Begin the front sway bar kit installation by fitting the sway bar bush to the bar which should have its bush stopper pointed toward the outside of the vehicle and its cutout directed toward the front. Place the sway bar kit onto the crossmember that has a paint mark along the left side of the vehicle. Start by tightening bolt A of the front sway bar bracket LH provisionally then follow up with bolting B then A to reach 47 Nm (479 kgf-cm, 35 ft-lbf) torque. Perform the identical installation process for the right-hand front sway bar bracket. Install the power steering gear and then the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly. When installing the sway bar link for the front sway bar link assembly LH it must be secured by using 2 nuts while maintaining the stud with a socket hexagon wrench 6 if the ball joint starts to turn with the nut. The installation process for the front sway bar link assembly RH matches exactly what is needed for the LH side. Both front lower suspension arm installation and tie rod end sub-assembly installation should follow the same procedures for the left-hand and right-hand side. Fasten together the steering column hole cover sub-assembly with the steering sliding yoke sub-assembly and the column hole cover silencer sheet. Install the front wheel by tightening it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf) then set wheels in a straight forward direction. Necessary components for installation include the outer cowl top panel, cowl to register duct sub-assembly for hatchback and front air shutter seal for sedan and the combination of front wiper motor and link with cowl top ventilator louver LH for hatchback and cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly for hatchback and sedan. Weld the front wiper arm and blade assembly LH and RH and the cowl side ventilator sub-assemblies LH and RH onto both sedan and hatchback models together with the hood to cowl top seal for the hatchback. Finish by installing the front wiper arm head cap then conduct hood adjustments followed by wire cable connection to the negative terminal using 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) torque. Lastly check and align the front wheels.
