How to Install Rear Shock Absorbers

Model: Honda CR-V MK 1 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Shocks

Shock absorbers in a vehicle are necessary for ensuring a smoother ride, and after a certain mileage, they wear out and need replacing. This guide shows how to replace the rear ones. Use a mechanical lift to raise the car off the ground, loosen the nuts and bolts of the tyres, and remove the wheels, lubricating the axles. Next, disconnect the upper mounts and position the rubber straps that hold the shock absorbers in tension. The new shock absorbers must fit perfectly onto their threaded rods. Install the new shock absorbers by tightening the nuts and bolts with a spanner. Once they are correctly positioned, lower the car from the lift.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
