Video tutorial

In this video we can immediately see the difference in functionality between a working shock absorber and an exhausted one; the difference is clear: we start by removing the front wheels and then the bracket supporting the disc, paying attention to the electrical connectors and brake oil delivery tubes.

We remove the shock absorber cap and then remove it from below, we slide the shock absorber out of the spring and replace it with a new one: we can find them of the best quality on auto-doc. It/monroe with code 15485273 at the price of 48.16 euros each + 9.95 euros for shipping.

We put back the dome and nut and reposition it inside the car. We close the shock absorber cap and reattach the brake disc, putting back the electrical connectors and oil tubes. We also put back the wheel and the job is done.
