To replace the rear shock absorber on a Hyundai Getz, lift the car with a jack or ramp, ensuring the corresponding wheel is not in contact with the ground: then you will need to unscrew the bolts securing it to the hub, removing it to access the components at the rear. Once the wheel is removed, you can unscrew the bolt that secures the shock absorber at the bottom: to unscrew the bolt at the top, open the tailgate and remove the side interior panel of the boot, corresponding to the shock absorber. This way, you can unscrew its bolt, completely removing the shock absorber and replacing it with a new one.
