From the side where the shock absorber will be replaced, remove the wheel. Find the bolt holding the shock absorber to the automobile and remove it. The old shock absorber should be removed after removing the top mounting bolt from the shock absorber. Reverse the previous steps to put in the new shock absorber. For the other side of the car, repeat the procedure. To ensure that the shock replacement is working properly, return the car to the ground and test drive. Always refer to your car’s manual before completing any maintenance work, and put on the proper protective gear, including gloves and eyewear.
