To replace the front shock absorber on the Citroën DS3, lift the car using a jack or ramp so that the bolts securing the corresponding wheel can be loosened: this will allow the wheel to be removed from the hub, making the bolts securing the shock absorber to the wishbone visible.

After loosening the bolts from the bottom, you can then lift the bonnet and loosen the bolts securing it from the top; this will allow you to completely remove the shock absorber and replace it with a new one.
