Replacing Front Shock Absorbers on a Fiat 500 Abarth

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Shocks

In this video, you will see how to replace the front shock absorbers on the small Italian sports car, the Fiat 500 Abarth. First, lift the bonnet of your car and remove the clips from the plastic grille located under the wipers: this will expose the top of the shock absorber where you will apply some penetrating oil. Unscrew the top bolt with a ratchet while holding the nut underneath with a 10mm spanner. Now lift the car and remove the wheel: remove the brake pipe clip and unscrew the suspension nut, detaching it from the brake caliper as well.
