The Toyota Canada TSB showed only bolt replacement for my '08 sedan. No mention of control arm or cross-member replacement and about 3 hours instead of the 5.5 hours stated in the US TSB. Other production years or models could differ of course.
The bolts are supposed to be an updated part. Hopefully that means better.
