How to Remove the Rear Shock Absorber from a Peugeot 307

Model: Peugeot 307 MK 1 - Years 2001-2009
Part: Shocks

Want to remove the rear shock absorber from a Peugeot 307? Follow these steps carefully: loosen the wheel nuts with a suitable tool (telescopic spanner or air drill), lift the car on a column lift, and remove the wheel. Use a socket to unscrew the fastening bolts of the shock absorber (at the top and bottom), lower the car with the column lift, and unscrew the bolt on the side in the boot (if this option is available). 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, first tighten all the bolts at the top of the shock absorber, then secure the bottom to the wheel hub. Finally, refit the wheel with the respective nuts.
