Rear Shock Absorbers? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Anyone replaced them? Car doesnt bounce but seems to sit a little lower than when I first bought it at the back.

If you are indeed sitting lower then your springs are getting tired. Shocks do not hold the car up.

Agree with Wee. Springs are what will sag... shocks absorb bumps, hence the name "shock absorber".

FWIW, I replaced mine on my hatch. It wasn't bad. I used Monroe's on it.
