To replace the rear shock absorbers of the Renault Kangoo 2, we need to lift the rear part of the vehicle and remove the wheel in order to access the suspension system. Using a 21 mm socket wrench, we unscrew the upper mounting bolts, holding the nut in place with a 21 mm wrench.

Using a 21 mm socket wrench, we unscrew the lower mounting bolts, using a jack to loosen the tension of the bolt. We then completely remove the upper bolt in order to remove the shock absorber.

We press vertically on the shock absorber rod before inserting it to separate the liquid part from the gas part. We insert the shock absorber and tighten the upper and lower bolts with a torque wrench.

We proceed in the same way for the right shock absorber. We insert the wheel and lower the vehicle back to the ground.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
