Do you want to remove the shock absorbers from your car? Here’s how to do it from underneath the vehicle. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts, lift the car on a column lift, and remove the front wheel.

Unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts at the wheel hub (disconnect the brake line tubes with a screwdriver). Lift the bonnet and secure it, unscrew the bolts on the side, and remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support under the bar). Install the new shock absorber on the car by reversing the disassembly steps.

Replace damaged parts with identical type and size.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
