First, place the car on a ramp and raise it to a comfortable working height. Remove the front wheel corresponding to the shock absorber to be replaced.

Spray lubricant on the bolts to be undone. After unscrewing the bolts that secure them to the shock absorber, remove the arm and brake cables.

Now unscrew the two bolts that attach the shock absorber to the wheel. Place a hydraulic jack under the wheel to relieve tension on the shock absorber.

Remove the shock absorber from its housing in the wheel. Open the bonnet and locate the bolt securing the top of the shock absorber; unscrew it. Remove the shock absorber.

Using a suitable tool, compress the shock absorber spring and disassemble it. Install the new shock absorber using the same tool. At this point, mount the new shock absorber in its position in the car, following the same operations as before but in reverse order.

Refit the wheel and lower the car using the ramp. The maintenance operation shown in the images is performed on a Renault Twingo.
