Replacing the rear shock absorbers is quite straightforward, especially since the springs are mounted externally to the damper; lift the vehicle without removing the rear wheel and unscrew the bolt that secures the lower eye of the shock absorber to the rear axle: you will need to place a support jack under the axle to extract the bolt; then lower the vehicle to access the boot, remove the cap on the top mount and the rubber cap on the shaft; unscrew the nut that secures the shaft to the top mount and extract the shock absorber from its seat; then fit the dust cover onto the new shock absorber and proceed in reverse for installation.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
