• Q: How to install the front Sway Bar Kit and related components on 2009 Toyota Yaris?

  A: Begin installation of the front sway bar kit by attaching the sway bar bush to its corresponding fixture using the bush stopper on the exterior and the cutout turned toward the front. Attachment of the sway bar kit starts when you position it against the crossmember which has its paint mark on the left side of the vehicle. First provisionally tighten bolt A of the front sway bar bracket LH before tightening bolts B then A to a torque of 47 Nm (479 kgf-cm, 35 ft-lbf). Follow the identical standard operations for the right-hand front sway bar bracket. After that install the power steering gear alongside the front suspension crossmember sub-assembly. When installing the sway bar link of the front sway bar link assembly LH it is necessary to use 2 nuts and a socket hexagon wrench 6 to stabilize the stud while tightening the nut which must prevent ball joint rotation. The installation of the front sway bar link assembly RH will occur using the identical process. Follow the installation instructions again to install both front lower suspension arm LH and RH as well as tie rod end sub-assembly LH and RH. Install steering column hole cover sub-assembly as well as steering sliding yoke sub-assembly and column hole cover silencer sheet. Wheels require installation with front wheel tightening torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf) before checking that wheels face straight forward. Follow appropriate installation steps for hatchback and sedan models to put in place the front air shutter seal for sedans as well as outer cowl top panel and cowl to register duct sub-assembly and front wiper motor and link. You should mount the cowl top ventilator louver LH for the hatchback followed by the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly along with the hood to cowl top seal for the hatchback and finally the cowl side ventilator sub-assemblies LH and RH for the sedan. The final installation consists of placing the front wiper arm and blade assembly LH and RH, the front wiper arm head cap and adjusting the hood position while connecting the cable to the negative terminal with 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) torque followed by checking front wheel alignment.
