Replacing the Shock Absorbers on Your Car

Model: Renault Scenic - Years 1996-2003
Part: Shocks

If your car has exceeded 62,000 miles, the shock absorbers need replacing. They serve to cushion the vehicle's bumps. Obtain a compressor with a pneumatic gun, a jack, and a spring compressor tool. Lift the left side of the car with the jack and remove the wheel, ensuring all four bolts are taken out. Next, open the bonnet by pulling the appropriate lever and remove the four screws located above the shock absorber. Then, remove the two screws on the half shaft and the one on the stabiliser parallel to the shock absorber. The shock absorber will come away on its own.
