How to replace the rear shock absorbers of a Renault Modus

Model: Renault Modus MK 1 - Years 2004-2013
Part: Shocks

In this demonstrative video, we see how to replace the rear shock absorbers of a Renault Modus. We can find the replacement on E-Bay with the code 254978542377 for the price of 73.00 euros, with free shipping. We see that access to the top of the strut is very easy thanks to the door that we can find inside the trunk; we will need a 16 mm socket wrench. We remove the wheel and then remove the protective cover of the bottom part of the shock absorber; we support the car with a hydraulic jack and then lubricate the sealing screw, which we will remove with an electric drill and an 18 mm socket. We remove the old shock absorber and replace it with the new one, initially tightening the bolts less. We put the wheel back in place and lower the car. We tighten the lower bolt with a torque wrench to 10.5 Nm; we close the protective cover and tighten the upper bolt to 2.1 Nm. We close the trunk lid and move on to the other wheel.
