How to replace the front shock absorber of the Honda CR-V?

Model: Honda CR-V MK 3 - Years 2007-2012
Part: Shocks

To replace the front shock absorber of the Honda CR-V, lift the vehicle so that the corresponding wheel is not in contact with the ground. Once the wheel is lifted, loosen the bolts that secure it to the hub to remove it and gain access to its components at the rear. Here, you will need to unscrew the bolts that secure the shock absorber at the bottom; to unscrew those at the top, open the bonnet and remove the plastic cover inside the engine compartment. This way, the shock absorber can be completely removed and replaced with a new spare part.
