How to Replace the Rear Shocks on an Audi A4 B6

Model: Audi A4 B6 - Years 2000-2004
Part: Shocks

Replacing the rear shocks on this car model is fairly simple since you can perform the entire operation from the outside without accessing the trunk. Start by lifting the vehicle on a lift and removing the rear wheel for better maneuverability (though this step can be skipped). Then, remove the lower shock eyelet mounting bolt and apply a support jack. Remove the wheel well cover to access the upper mount and complete the disassembly. Attach the mount to the shaft of the new shock and proceed in reverse for installation.

Disconnect the connectors on top of the coils and then remove the coils by pulling them straight up after removing the bolts that hold them in place. Now, using a socket wrench, unscrew the spark plugs from the bottom of the newly freed hole, taking care not to let too much dirt enter this cylinder.
