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.

Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
