How to Replace the Front Shock Absorber on a Peugeot 308

Model: Peugeot 308 T9, MK 2 - Years 2013-2021
Part: Shocks

To replace the front shock absorber on a Peugeot 308, open the bonnet to access the bolts securing the wipers. Once these are removed, detach the panel at the base of the windscreen to expose the nuts securing the shock absorber at the top. Loosen this nut, then proceed to loosen the bolts securing the corresponding wheel and remove it completely. This will allow you to loosen the bolt that secures the shock absorber to the wheel hub, removing it entirely and replacing it with a new one.
