Lots of work done - Toyota Yaris Forums

bear4 · 11-22-2009, 06:54 PM

This weekend I've done some major work on my 01 Echo with 153,000 miles:
1. Replaced tires with Yocohama Avid T4 - like them a lot, feels like a new car now
2. Replaced front brake pads - the old OEM pads lasted 90,000 miles.
3. Replaced stabilizer link bushings (they were ate up pretty bad) - the old ones were originals
4. Replaced brake fluid
5. Replaced rear shocks with Monroe Sensatrac

If anybody has questions - I'll be happy to answer.

See photo below - the bushings are shown. I replaced all struts with KYB at 111,000 miles. Now the rear ones started to be too stiff for me, so I installed Monroes. Bought the front ones as well, but will do them later, the front KYBs are still pretty good.
