Replacing racks yourself: important nuances

Work begins with preparing the inspection hole and purchasing tools. After this, the actual replacement begins.

Required Tools

To install the racks you will need:

• a set of wrenches and socket wrenches;
• screwdrivers;
• jack;
• rags;
• metal brush;
• brush for applying lubricant;
• construction knife.

To install the racks you will need a jack.

Work order

Replacement of stabilizer bushings is carried out as follows:

1. Put the rear wheels on the handbrake. Install anti-recoil elements.
2. Raise the front of the car with a jack. Remove the wheel nuts.
3. Dismantle the wheel and remove the fender liner. Remove dirt with a damp cloth, then clean the surfaces with a steel brush.
4. Treat the joints with penetrating lubricant. Disconnect the old strut from the rod and shock absorber. It is not recommended to reuse fasteners, so you need to buy new nuts in advance.
5. Remove the bushing by pulling it forward. Install the purchased spare part. Tighten the nuts to 75 Nm.
6. Reassemble the shock absorber in the reverse order.

Replacing the support bearing of Toyota Corolla

Now you can begin to disassemble the removed assembly. To get to the support bearings of the Toyota Corolla 150, proceed as follows:

So, there should be no cracks on the anthers, lower and upper insulators, and the shock absorber itself should not have any leaks. The spring should not have any deformation. If these faults are identified, the elements must be replaced - they cannot be restored.

Selection criteria for Toyota Corolla 150: what to look for

When purchasing parts, pay attention to the following characteristics:

1. Manufacturer of racks. The service life depends on whether the original part is installed. When choosing, it is worth considering what roads you will have to drive on. Original Toyota spare parts are designed for use in urban environments and are designed for 50 thousand km. In the conditions of our country, they serve less.
2. Material of manufacture. Rubber products are considered the most durable. However, plastic substitutes have recently appeared. They meet quality and safety standards. In the event of an accident, the part is completely destroyed, but this does not cause harm to the vehicle or the driver.
3. Dimensions. You need to select parts designed for the model in question. A slight deviation in size may negatively affect the performance of the suspension. Selection of a replacement is possible only within the brand; for example, bushings from Camry may be suitable for Corolla. Pay attention to the years of production of the cars for which the purchased spare parts are intended. Please refer to the parts packaging for details.

When purchasing racks, take into account the material of manufacture and dimensions.

The following brands of spare parts are suitable for Corolla:

1. Excel-G (best matching parts). They are 2 times cheaper than the original bushings. However, Excel-G is not inferior to them in terms of durability and safety. You need to purchase parts made in the UK; Japanese ones are not suitable for Russian roads.
2. Sachs (characterized by balanced value). The main indicators correspond to those of the original racks.
3. Monroe (high quality). The cost of the rear bushings is almost the same as that of the original. The front struts are 2 times cheaper. Therefore, Monroe parts are combined with cheaper ones.

Replacing front struts for Toyota Corolla

If the shock absorber has oil leaks, the entire assembly should be completely replaced. Then the work goes a little differently:

1. Jack up the car and remove the wheel;
2. Unscrew the stabilizer guide;
3. Unscrew the steering knuckle bolts;

1. Disconnect the brake line and ABS wire;
2. Unscrew the top fastening and remove the entire assembly;
3. Compress the spring and unscrew the top bolt;

The front and rear shock absorbers of Toyota Corolla with bodies 120 and 150 are very vulnerable and sensitive parts. Despite the fact that the Japanese manufacturer is sensitive to the development of Russian versions of its cars, it is still not possible to avoid the negative impact of domestic roads. The parts used in the shock absorption system are of fairly high quality, but sooner or later they have to be changed to avoid much more serious problems.

Rules to remember

Let's start with the first rule - these spare parts must be replaced in pairs. That is, if the right front strut fails, then you need to replace not only it, but also the left one, even if it is in good condition. This is because the car must have equal rigidity on both sides.

The same applies to the rear struts - we change both, otherwise the car will not hold the road well, even after going through the wheel alignment procedure. And also replacing both parts will make your life easier, since the part that is not replaced will still fail and you will have to repeat all the procedures again.

The second rule applies to people who like to experiment. Let’s say right away that replacing the struts with new ones using different manufacturers or using struts of different stiffness (one in front, another in the back) is categorically not recommended. Your Toyota Corolla Fielder will be unstable and it will be a huge inconvenience for you to drive.

Problems when paying with bank cards

Sometimes difficulties may arise when paying with Visa/MasterCard bank cards. The most common of them:

1. There is a restriction on the card for paying for online purchases
2. A plastic card is not intended for making payments online.
3. The plastic card is not activated for making payments online.
4. There are not enough funds on the plastic card.

In order to solve these problems, you need to call or write to the technical support of the bank where you are served. Bank specialists will help you resolve them and make payments.

That's basically it. The entire process of paying for a book in PDF format on car repair on our website takes 1-2 minutes.

Which struts to choose for a Toyota Corolla?

When choosing struts for a Corolla, you need to take into account the country of manufacture of the car, and also pay attention to the series of shock absorbers (like Kayaba). The most often preferred from companies: Sachs, Kayaba, Monroe. Among the reviews from car owners, Kayaba racks are the most popular. When selecting shock absorbers, it should be taken into account that Corollas supplied to Russia are equipped with gas-oil struts designated for bad roads. The struts that are purchased in Europe are much softer and, accordingly, it is much easier to break through them, their breakdown force is less than that of native PPDs, and motorists do not recommend installing oil struts due to the short travel of the suspension, as a result of which the car sways strongly on them. In addition, the springs are installed on the car not for oil shock absorbers, so you will have to change the springs along with the shock absorbers, and this is an additional expense. It is also not recommended to install gas ones, firstly they are more expensive and secondly they have a high internal gas pressure of about 60 atm. (for gas-oil ones approximately from 5 to 20 atm). Gas ones are less common, mainly oil and gas-oil ones with the so-called gas pressure are used, they have two working elements, oil and gas, gas under pressure is needed to counteract the foaming of the oil during operation.

Causes of failure

The main reasons for the failure of support bearings are dust and water penetrating inside, lack of lubrication there, and also, not rarely, due to a strong impact on the rack. Read more about these and other causes of support bearing failure:

• Natural wear of the part . Unfortunately, the quality of domestic roads leaves much to be desired. Therefore, when operating the machine, be prepared for the fact that the bearings will be subject to more wear than their manufacturer claims.
• Sand and dirt getting inside the mechanism . The fact is that a journal bearing is a type of rolling bearing, and it does not structurally provide protection from the mentioned harmful factors.
• Abrupt driving style and failure to comply with speed limits. Driving on bad roads at high speed leads to excessive wear not only on the support bearing, but also on other elements of the vehicle’s suspension.
• Low quality parts or defects . This is especially true for domestically produced bearings, in particular for VAZ cars.
