Removal of Car Shock Absorbers

Model: Honda Civic MK 8 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Shocks

Shock absorbers are a part of the car that allows for a smooth and safe drive. When they wear out, they need to be replaced. To remove the worn ones, lift the vehicle off the ground. The shock absorbers are secured with a vertical bolt that must be removed from the boot and is positioned above a horizontal bolt that needs to be undone. To remove the old shock absorbers, take out the bolts beneath the boot lining. Simply turn the spanner and ratchet counterclockwise. With a set of spanners, you can free the nut that connects the shock absorber to the suspension and remove it from the bolt.

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.
