Introduction
The change is quite simple and does not require any special knowledge.
We only have to deal with dismantling.
-
-
First, you need to loosen the wheel nuts (19mm bit), but you should not remove them so that the wheel does not fall off when you lift the car.
-
The car must then be lifted and placed on a jack stand to work safely.
-
The wheel nuts can now be removed and the wheel removed.
-
-
-
To remove the lower screw of the shock absorber (16 or 17 wrench), you can position the jack under the shock absorber to raise it a little. You can then remove the lower screw.
-
-
-
In the trunk, remove the cover from the upper part of the shock absorber.
-
By locking with a hex key and a flat spanner (14 or 15 spanner), the lock nut must be unscrewed.
-
-
-
We can now remove the old shock absorber and the silent blocks (note the positioning of these).
-
-
-
Then you have to position the lower silent block on the shock absorber rod and the upper silent block where you removed the old one.
-
Don't forget the metal washer on the upper silent block.
-
-
-
The new shock absorber can now be fitted.
-
We start by tightening the lower screw.
-
Then tighten the upper part with the flat wrench and the Allen key, keeping the jack under the shock absorber to raise the threaded part of the shock absorber.
-
-
-
We put the wheel back in place and tighten the wheel nuts.
-
Once the wheel is back on, put the car back on the jack, then remove the candle.
-
We can now lower the car back down
-
We check the tightness of the wheel nuts one last time.
-
You can also check the tightness of the lower shock absorber screw and the upper shock absorber locknut.
