Part: Shocks

This guide shows how to change the shock absorbers of your car. Shock absorbers play a crucial role in any vehicle as they ensure stability and safety, providing maximum performance. To replace the shock absorbers, you will need a puller and a spring compressor. Lift the vehicle using a ramp or a jack, and you will also need screwdrivers, a torque wrench, and a vice. Once the vehicle is safely raised, loosen any bolts and remove the shock absorbers using the puller. To fit the new shock absorbers, use a telescopic spring compressor.
