Quick Slightly Stupid Q. - Toyota Yaris Forums

The Architect · 04-30-2009, 05:49 PM

So I'm going to be swapping the old springs back in the rear.

First, with included picture, which springs go in back (i didnt do my spring swap) tall or short, then....which end goes up (or down) the fat end or skinny.

I havent even dabbled with the rear end yet which is why I ask.

Seems easy enough, jack up yaris, take off wheels, take off one bolt and the spring falls out.

Yes?

Will I need alignment.
Will there be any issues running two diff. sets of springs on said yaris.

Thoughts, corrections etc are appreciated.

the skinnier springs to in back.

Yes, it's super easy.

Will I need alignment.

Nope, not for the rears.

Will there be any issues running two diff. sets of springs on said yaris.
It might ride funky, which might be a control issue.

Thoughts, corrections etc are appreciated.

So, why are you only swapping the rears?

My guess is 400 pounds of audio equipment might have something to do with it.

The Architect · 04-30-2009, 06:19 PM

Shorter smaller diameter ones in the rear and I think the end that's on the floor in your pic goes on top

Thanks, any confirmation from any of the suspension guru's?

The Architect · 05-01-2009, 09:44 PM

cmon guys, someone confirm or help out if you know this stuff.

thin ones go in the back, and I'm pretty sure they are all upside down.

However, it's very easy to tell by which end sits correctly in the bottom mount.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
