No Stabilizer Linkage On Corolla 2009? by oNj(m): 9:04am On Mar 11, 2015 |
Took my corolla 2009__the one they call 'South Africa' for shocks replacement. Was surprised to find that this car has no stabiliser Linkage, can't find any provisions for it on the car. I'm worried cos I was told this would wear the shocks easily; and at worst make the car sway at certain speed. Please if you own one, or has experience with this car help me confirm that this particular model has no space for it. If it does, kindly send pics of yours (exact same model). |

oNj: Pics of your suspension area please, especially where links/swaybar should bolt up. |

From the little I know, your model of Toyota corolla comes with stabilizer linkages. In fact they are longer than the conventional linkages you find on other vehicles. I am sure like GAZZUZZ said that they must have been removed. I wonder at what point in time that could have happened? |
Re: No Stabilizer Linkage On Corolla 2009? by oNj(m): 11:35am On Mar 11, 2015 |
emekan: No idea. Just trying to see if I can fix it back |

Remember if you don't have your sway bar there and you want to fix it. Warn that mechanic to lock up your steering before attempting to remove it and fix it unless he would over turn your steering and cut off your clock spring (squib sensor) which controls what ever feature you have on your steering wheel. Trust me man you wouldn't want to go through the stress of changing the clock spring if broken because not every one knows how to fix that. A bit technical |

mayor2013: ONJ do not overlook these wise words if you value your steering wheel ribbon. Doroboss |

mayor2013: Wow; thanks for the info, sounds scary though. There's nothing down there, no traces left. Sort of confused whether to go ahead with fitting it back, or do I just 'manage' the car that way |

Anyone with this model of Corolla: kindly post pics of your stabilizer linkages, sway bar etc. |
Re: No Stabilizer Linkage On Corolla 2009? by mayor2013: 9:18pm On Mar 11, 2015 |
I use the 07 don't know if they are same. Well get its exact one that fits. If forced in you might continue to buy over and over again till you get the exact type, breakage would be the order of the day. It gives the car more balance particularly when you turning your steering. so its very important |

Saw a video on youtube that shows the location of the linkage -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2dfyNXClVU Wondering where I can get the anti-sway bar in Abuja |

oNj: Go to owode on ketu-ikorodu road, search for your car, or just ask some one by the gate what you need, they will take you to an accidented car, same make, just pick what you want. Should be less than 5k. Don't forget to buy any missing parts including bolts. |

GAZZUZZ: emekan: A Kazeem is most likely responsible for this |
Re: No Stabilizer Linkage On Corolla 2009? by oNj(m): 8:51pm On Mar 13, 2015 |
GAZZUZZ:I'm in Abuja. Can we arrange: you help me pick/send them to Abuja |
Re: No Stabilizer Linkage On Corolla 2009? by oNj(m): 8:53pm On Mar 13, 2015 |
Piyke: Lol. Most likely. Wonder what could be their reason. Surely not in my hands though |

oNj:any difference in ride quality and performance? |
Re: No Stabilizer Linkage On Corolla 2009? by oNj(m): 8:11pm On Mar 23, 2015 |
chukel: My brother, noticed better stability at high speeds, Still observing though. Hoping that should prolong the life of my kyb shocks too |
