Yaris Front Suspention Leg

[apaykapuy]

hello to all

my cars driver side front coil spring snapped this morning.

local shops told me that it is around gbp50 per spring(around gbp 100 for 2).

i saw in eBay a front suspension leg for 1.0 with a delivered price of gbp42.

my plan now is to buy this set instead of just replacing the coil spring so that it will be straightforward.

i just want to ask if the front suspension legs for a 1.0 is the same with 1.3(with abs)?

i am looking forward for your advise please.

thank you very much.

I suspect the springs are different due to the different engine weights. I suspect the brake calipers may be different.

I would only replace like with like .

Never replace one spring. They should always be renewed in pairs. Be very careful when buying from eBay. I know people who hjave bought very cheap parts and that is just what they are! I have seen brake callipers which were positively lethal. Go to a good motor factor and get a quote from a firm like Blueprint.

I think the springs are different because in most generations, the 1.3s sit a little lower than the 1.0s. You could probably switch out both the front springs for 1.3 springs but then you would be nose-diving a bit and probably straining the front of the car under braking and it's just all round not a great idea.
