Replacement of the rear suspension springs of the Ford Fiesta 5

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Shocks

To replace the rear suspension springs of the Ford Fiesta, we put the car on a lift, loosen the nuts of the rear wheels, lift the car and finish disassembling the two rear wheels. We clean the shock absorber mount on both sides and place a hydraulic jack under the mount to relieve tension on the suspension. We unscrew the shock absorber nut with a 15mm socket, lower the jack and repeat the operations on the other side. With the axle lowered, we remove the two springs and their rubber mounts, clean the surfaces and insert the new springs with the mounts. We raise the mount with the jack, insert the shock absorber bolt and tighten it with a torque wrench. We repeat the operations on the other side, put the wheels back on and lower the car.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
