Video tutorial

Replacing the front shock absorbers on this car model requires disassembling several components to access the strut towers, as well as having the appropriate tools to separate the spring from the damper. Start by lifting the vehicle on a ramp to remove the front wheel, disconnect the cable grommets, and proceed to remove the drop link and the mounting bolts of the shock absorber from the hub support.

Lower the ramp to access the engine bay and remove the plastic cover grille located just below the windscreen, the underlying plastic cover, the wiper blades, and the associated drive mechanism. Then, unscrew the mounting nuts of the shock absorber support to extract it from its seat and apply clamps to the spring to compress it enough to remove the support from the shock absorber's sleeve.

Insert the spring and support onto the new shock absorber and reverse the procedure.

The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
