Place the car on a ramp or use a jack, and lift it to a comfortable height. Remove the corresponding tyre for the shock absorber in question.

Disconnect the various cables from the brake caliper. Undo the bolts that secure the shock absorber at the bottom to the wheel and at the top to the wishbones.

At this point, open the bonnet. Undo and remove the wiper.

After removing the various clips that hold the cover in place, you can take it off. Now, you can undo the bolts that secure the top of the shock absorber and thus remove it from below. Place the shock absorber in a special machine to compress the spring so that it can be disassembled.

Replace the shock absorber and reassemble it. Finally, you can repeat the steps seen, following the procedure in reverse. The car on which this maintenance operation was performed, as shown in the images, is a Renault Laguna.
