Rear Shock Absorber Replacement for Mercedes A-Class
Model: Mercedes Classe A
W169
- Years 2004-2012
Replacing the rear shock absorbers is significantly easier than the front ones since the spring and shock are not co-axial; lift the vehicle and remove the rear wheel for better maneuvering space. Place a jack under the suspension and remove the lower shock mount bolt. Lower the vehicle to access the trunk, remove the carpet lining to reach the support mount, and take it out to remove the old shock absorber and insert the new one, securing the upper mount immediately. Raise the vehicle again and use the jack to bring the suspension close to the shock mount to insert and tighten the corresponding mounting bolt.

How to Remove the Front Bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso?
To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part. The new part can then be secured and connected properly, ensuring it is correctly fixed in place. by ScegliAuto More videos
