Let's replace the rear shock absorber on a Nissan Qashqai. Loosen the wheel nuts using a suitable tool (socket wrench or air drill), lift the car on a column lift and remove the wheel.

Using a socket wrench, unscrew the mounting bolts of the shock absorber (top and bottom); remove the shock absorber from its housing. Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation.

Insert the shock absorber into its housing and first tighten all the bolts at the top of the shock absorber, then secure the bottom part. Finally, reassemble the wheel with the respective nuts.
