Instructions for Replacing Front Shock Absorbers

Model: Renault Megane Megane 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Shocks

It should be noted that replacing the front shock absorbers requires specific equipment such as spring compressors. That said, lift the vehicle on appropriate car stands (preferably use a ramp) and remove the front wheel; detach the cable guide bracket and then the mounting bolts of the shock absorber from the wheel hub by sliding them out to free the shock absorber; access the engine bay to remove the mounting bolts of the shock absorber support from the strut top and then extract the shock absorber from its seat. Next, apply the spring compressors to compress the spring, remove the top mount from the old shock absorber, and slide off the rubber bellows; insert the bellows and spring onto the new shock absorber, attach the mount, and release the spring by loosening the compressors. Proceed in reverse to install the new shock absorber onto the vehicle, securing it first to the strut top and then to the hub.
