How to Replace the Rear Shock Absorbers on a Lancia Ypsilon

Model: Lancia Ypsilon 843, MK 2, Ypsilon 2, Y2 - Years 2003-2011
Part: Shocks

To replace the rear shock absorbers on a Lancia Ypsilon, lift the rear of the car using a jack so that the corresponding wheels are not in contact with the ground. Once done, remove all the bolts securing the wheels and take them off completely to access the components inside the wheel arch. Here, you will find the bolts securing the shock absorber at the top of the body and at the wheel hub: by loosening these bolts, the shock absorber will be removed and can be replaced with a new spare part.
