You can replace the front shock absorber on a Fiat 500 by opening the bonnet to access the components in the engine bay: go to the side to locate the screws that secure the shock absorber from the top. Once these screws are loosened, remove the corresponding front wheel to access the screws of the shock absorber at the wishbones.
