When replacing the front shock absorbers, keep in mind that you need the appropriate clamps to compress the spring during the disassembly of the shock absorber; lift the car, remove the front wheel, and two bolts that secure the shock absorber to the hub support; then access the engine compartment to unscrew the nut securing the shock absorber support to the body strut; at this point, apply the clamps to the spring and compress it enough to unscrew the nut that secures the rubber mount to the shock absorber and complete the disassembly; then insert the spring, the dust cover, and the upper rubber mount onto the new shock absorber and proceed in reverse for the installation on the vehicle.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
