How to Replace the Front Shock Absorbers on the Fiat Grande Punto?

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: Suspension system

To replace the front shock absorbers on the Fiat Grande Punto, you need to remove the wipers and the grille located under the windscreen: this will provide clear access to the shock absorber shaft. Next, remove the wheels, and in the case of the left side, disconnect the brake wear sensor. To remove the bolts securing the shock absorber, it is advisable to use some penetrating oil to simplify the task. Use 17mm and 18mm spanners to remove the bolts both at the bottom and at the top, accessible from the engine bay. Once the first shock absorber is removed, the procedure for removing the second will be similar.
