How to Install New Shock Absorbers

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

Shock absorbers are used to ensure a smooth ride. After the vehicle has covered many miles, they may wear out. First, lift the car off the ground, loosen the nuts and bolts, and remove the wheels. Loosen all the lower fixing screws connected to the shock absorbers, then disconnect the upper mounts using a socket. You can then insert the rubber straps that hold the shock absorbers in tension. When you notice that the shock absorbers have perfectly adapted to their threaded bars, you can remove the rubber straps and begin installing the new set of shock absorbers.

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.
