Replacing the front shock absorbers on a Fiat Panda, disassembly and assembly. Loosen the wheel nuts, lift the car on a column lift and remove the wheel.

Unscrew the securing bolts of the shock absorber to the wheel hub using a socket wrench (disconnect the brake circuit pipes with a screwdriver). Unscrew the bolts located at the side (top part of the shock absorber), and remove the shock absorber from its housing.

Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for the assembly of the shock absorber to the spring using a suitable compression tool if available. Fit the shock absorber into its housing.
