How to replace the front shock absorbers on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta

Model: Alfa Romeo Giulietta MK 1 - Years 2010-2020
Part: Shocks

How to replace the front shock absorbers on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta? The shock absorbers in question are SACHS gas ones (a good brand for the Giulietta). Start by removing the front wheels and lifting the vehicle with a jack. Once the wheel is removed, free the stabiliser bar link as shown in the video. You can do this using an Allen key and turning the nut. With the jack, apply pressure under the shock absorber to push it back into its original position. At this point, free it from its location as shown in the video. Use a rubber mallet to tap out the shock absorber from the hub. Once done, reassemble everything as shown in the video.
