How to replace the rear shock absorbers on a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Shocks

Let's see in this short video tutorial how to replace the rear shock absorbers on a second-generation Fiat Punto, produced from 1999 to 2011. First, pull the handbrake, lift the rear part of the car, and remove the wheel. Now, with the help of a jack, loosen the shock absorber arm to better remove its fixing screws. Once done, use a 15mm socket wrench to unscrew the upper screw of the shock absorber, then use an 18mm socket wrench to unscrew the lower screw. Now we can remove the shock absorber, so let's install a new one following the reverse procedure to complete the job.
