To remove the front shock absorber (right side) on a Fiat Panda, first loosen the wheel nuts, lift the vehicle on a column lift or jack, and remove the rear wheel. Use a socket to unscrew the bolts securing the shock absorber to the wheel hub (disconnect the brake line tubes with a screwdriver).

Unscrew the bolts in the engine compartment (open the bonnet) 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 vehicle in reverse order.
