Removing and Installing the Rear Shock Absorbers

Model: Mazda 3 BK, MK 1 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Shocks

Shock absorbers are a somewhat complicated part of the car to replace, but for the rear ones, it is just a matter of tightening. The rear shock absorbers are secured at the top of the bodywork with bolts, while at the bottom, they are fixed to the rear axle. To remove them, unscrew the bolts that secure the top of the shock absorbers to the upper body frame and those that secure the rear part of the shock absorber to the rear axle. For installation, reverse the procedure and tighten the bolts.
