Removing the Shock Absorber on a Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Shocks

Replace the damaged shock absorber on a Citroen C3. Lift the car on a column lift and remove the front wheel. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the securing bolts of the shock absorber at the wheel hub (detach the brake line tubes with a screwdriver). Lift the bonnet and secure it, then unscrew the securing bolts of the shock absorber. Remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support under the bar). Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation. Install the new shock absorber on the car by screwing in all the previously removed bolts.
