Skoda Octavia - Video tutorial

Model: Skoda Octavia 1U, MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: Replacement rear shock absorbers on Skoda Octavia

Replacing the rear shock absorber? We use a jack to lift the car and facilitate disassembly. With a socket wrench we go to unscrew the locking pins of the shock absorber (in the upper and lower part), remove the shock absorber from its housing. Let's compare the old piece with the new one and get ready for assembly under the vehicle. We insert the shock absorber in its housing and we first go to tighten all the pins in the upper part of the shock absorber and then to fix the lower part to the wheel hub. We assemble the wheel to finish the assembly. We test the functioning of the piece once the jack has been removed.
