Easily and Quickly Replace the Rear Shock Absorbers on a Citroen C4

Model: Citroen C4 MK 1 - Years 2004-2010
Part: Shocks

Before proceeding with the removal and replacement of the rear shock absorbers, ensure that the engine is off and the handbrake is properly engaged. Use a hydraulic jack to lift the car and remove the two wheels. Unscrew the bolt located on both sides at the bottom of the shock absorber. Repeat the same operation for the two upper bolts and finally remove the two shock absorbers. At this point, simply replace them with new models. To fit them correctly, perform the previous operations in reverse order. Ensure that both sides are set to the same ground height.
