How to Install Rear Shock Absorbers

Model: Chrysler 300c MK 1 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Shocks

First, let's identify the tools you will need: a 15mm socket, a 17mm socket, an 18mm spanner, and a 21mm spanner. Now, let's begin. First, remove the wheel and unscrew the bolts of the shock absorber using the 18mm spanner and the 15mm socket, then detach the shock absorber. Using a socket wrench, remove the bolts at the top of the shock absorber. Now, take out the shock absorber. Still using the 15mm socket, unscrew the bolt located at the top of the shock absorber; you may need pliers. Remove all parts until you reach the bearing, and also remove that. Now take a new shock absorber and reinsert the parts you unscrewed from the old one in the same position. Now reposition the shock absorber and refit it to the car, first the top part and then the bottom using the 18mm spanner and the 15mm socket.
