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.
