Replacing the rear shock absorbers is straightforward since the spring and damper are not co-axial. Once you have lifted the vehicle, remove the rear wheel and place a support jack under the suspension before removing the lower mounting bolt of the shock absorber.

Lower the vehicle to access the boot area, remove the cap on the shock absorber dome, and undo the nut securing the upper mount. Then, work in reverse by first securing the top of the rod, then lift the suspension and secure the bottom.

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.
