Rear Shock Absorber Replacement

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

Replacing the rear shock absorbers is extremely simple and does not require access to the boot for removal: everything is done from the outside; lift the vehicle on the ramp and remove the rear wheel for better manoeuvrability; then remove the upper eyelet mounting pin of the shock absorber and then the lower one, which is accessed by lowering the plastic protective cover secured with plastic pressure clips; once the pins are removed, extract the old shock absorber and install the new one by reversing the process.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
