How to Replace Your Car's Shock Absorber

Model: Hyundai Getz MK 1 - Years 2002-2011
Part: Shocks

Shock absorbers are among the components of a car that are most subject to stress. They typically need replacing between 43,000 and 50,000 miles. You do not need to be a professional to do this, and the following guide shows you how. First, lift the car and remove the wheels. You can then proceed to unscrew the bolts that hold the shock absorbers in place. Using mechanical clamps, disconnect the upper mounts and remove the worn-out old shock absorbers. You can then install the new shock absorbers, which can be purchased from a trusted dealer.
