Replacing Front Shock Absorbers

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Shocks

If you need to replace the front shock absorbers, it is essential to have the appropriate clamps to compress the spring; having said that, lift the vehicle on suitable car stands, remove the front wheel, disconnect the cable attached to the shock absorber, and unscrew the two mounting bolts to extract it from the hub support; then access the engine bay and remove the support attached to the body strut to complete the shock absorber removal; then apply the clamps and compress the spring to remove the upper support; fit the spring support rubber and the dust cover onto the new shock absorber before inserting the spring and remounting the support, checking the integrity of the bearing; then proceed in reverse for the installation back onto the vehicle.
