How to Replace Shock Absorbers

Model: Renault Laguna Laguna 3, MK 3, X91, MK III, Laguna III - Years 2007-2015
Part: Shocks

The purpose of shock absorbers is to slow down the movement of the suspension. If the car has covered many miles, they need to be replaced. They can be found at any auto parts store. To start the job, gather a compressor and a car, then unscrew all the bolts to remove the wheel. Next, open the bonnet and remove all the screws located above the shock absorber mount. Then, remove the two screws on the spindle and the one positioned on the stabiliser, which runs parallel to the "affected" shock absorber. You will notice that the shock absorber will come out very easily.

How to Remove the Grille on a Ford Ranger

In this video, learn how to remove the grille located on the front bumper of a Ford Ranger. Prepare to take off the plastic grille: use a socket spanner to unscrew the fasteners securing the grille (located on the inside of the bumper). With a plastic lever, pry between the grille and the bumper until it disengages from its housing. Once the grille is free, remove it from the bumper and fit a new one. Refit the grille onto the car's bumper by pressing it into place and screw the fasteners back in. Check that all parts are correctly mounted.
