How to Change Your Car's Shock Absorbers

Model: Dacia Logan MK 1 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Shocks

If your car has covered more than 62,000 miles, you will likely need to replace the shock absorbers. They serve to cushion the vehicle's bumps and enhance safety while cornering. In this article, step by step, you will receive all the useful instructions on how to replace the shock absorbers in your car. This is a procedure you can perform without relying on your trusted mechanic, saving a considerable amount of money. Obtain a compressor equipped with a pneumatic gun, a jack, and a spring compressor tool. Lift the left side of the car with the jack and then remove the wheel, ensuring you take off all four bolts that hold it in place. At this point, open the bonnet by operating the appropriate lever and remove all four screws located above the shock absorber. The shock absorber will then come out.
