Replacement of Car Suspension

Model: Vauxhall Vectra Vectra B, MK 2 - Years 1995-2002
Part: Suspension system

This practical guide shows how to replace the suspension of your car. The suspension helps absorb the stresses that reach the vehicle through the compression and expansion of a gas contained within. Each suspension consists of a sealed rubber spring that utilises the compressed air generated by the compressor. The first step is to lift the car with a jack and remove the wheel. Next, remove the wheel arch liner and the shock absorber. You can then proceed to install the new part. For the replacement of the passenger side suspension, follow a similar procedure.
