How do you replace the shock absorbers of the Smart 451?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Shocks

In order to replace the shock absorbers of the Smart 451 you have to go and lift the car, so that the wheel corresponding to the shock absorber to be removed can be completely removed. After this has been removed, it will be possible to loosen the bolts that secure the shock absorber in the upper part and also in the lower part, at the hub. When the shock absorber has been released, it will be possible to go and completely extract the piece from its housing, so that a new one can be inserted. After installation, you will also need to mount the corresponding wheel.
