Place the car on a ramp and lift it to a suitable height for the job. Remove the rear wheel using the appropriate tools. Position a hydraulic jack under the axle and raise it to shorten the length of the shock absorber.

Select the correct tools and remove the shock absorber: first unscrew the lower bolt and then the upper one that connects it to the axle and the bodywork, respectively. Take the new shock absorber and, after compressing it to the appropriate length, fit it in the same position.

The installation steps are the same as previously seen but performed in reverse order. This work is carried out on a Renault Laguna.
