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.
