The guide details all the phases and tools needed to replace the shock absorbers. First, clean the nuts to be unscrewed from dirt and grime that has accumulated on them.

A spray of specific oil for loosening bolts will help, and you can proceed to unscrew step by step as shown in the video until you detach the shock absorber from the axle. At this point, open the bonnet; this is where you need to work to completely free the shock absorber.

Dismantle any brackets and covers, the wipers, and the trim under the windscreen to reach the bolt for the final detachment of the shock absorber. Remove the protective sleeve, which you will refit on the new part, and proceed to place the shock absorber back in its position.

Re-tighten the upper bolt, secure it to the axle from below, and finally reassemble everything.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
