How to replace the shock absorbers of the Seat Leon 1

Model: Seat Leon 1P - Years 2005-2013
Part: Shocks

Today we will explain how to replace the shock absorbers of the Seat Leon model 1. We start the replacement by turning off the car, pulling the handbrake, and lifting the rear part of the vehicle, so that we can remove the rear wheels. Using an extension and a Torx key of 25, we unscrew the upper screws of the shock absorber and remove the fender. Using the jack, we loosen the shock absorber arm. We remove the screws using a 16 socket wrench. We remove the shock absorber and perform the same operation for the right rear part. We mount the shock absorber by following the steps in reverse.
