How to Remove the Rear Shock Absorber on a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Shocks

Let's see how to remove the rear shock absorber on a Fiat Punto. The first step: loosen the wheel nuts, lift the car on a column lift, and remove the rear wheel. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the mounting bolts of the shock absorber at the wheel hub (detach the brake line tubes with a screwdriver). Unscrew the bolt located at the side (top part of the shock absorber), and 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. Fit the new shock absorber onto the car, proceeding in reverse.
