How to Replace Your Car's Shock Absorbers

Model: Renault Trafic MK 2 - Years 2001-2014
Part: Shocks

The following guide shows how to change the shock absorbers of your car. Shock absorbers play a crucial role as they ensure the stability of the vehicle. To replace the shock absorbers, you will need a puller and a specific spring compressor for the vehicle in question. Raise the vehicle using a jack, and you will also need screwdrivers, a torque wrench, and a vice. Once the vehicle is safely lifted, loosen the bolts and remove the shock absorbers using a puller. To reposition the new shock absorbers, use the telescopic spring compressor. The operation itself is not very difficult but requires the right equipment.
