Change the Front Shock Absorbers

Model: Honda Accord MK 6 - Years 1998-2002
Part: Shocks

First, remove the wheel. Remove the lower bolt that secures the shock absorber to the lower arm. Remove the retaining clip and the nut from the upper arm. Using a bar, push down on the lower arm to free the shock absorber. Remove the three upper bolts accessible from the engine bay. To remove the spring, compress it using a spring compressor. Assemble the remaining components onto the new shock absorber, ensuring the correct orientation and order of assembly.
