Changing a rear shock absorber.

Changing a rear shock absorber.

To make the installation easier to understand, we will change the shock absorber of a car which is being built.

Undo the shock absorber's rear and front fixing nuts.

The shock absorber can now be removed.

Remove the washers.

Wipe the shock absorber's mounting bolts.

Lightly grease the shock absorber's mounting bolts.

Put the washers in place.

Attention, the hydraulic shock absorber must be fitted in the right way.

For the mark Monroe, the reference R3203 is for the rear shock absorber.

You will notice that there is a ticket with "Top" written on it.

Just below you will see a small dome. This indicates the oil reservoir.

The oil reservoir must be at the lowest point, which is the fixed support on the chassis.

You will notice once that the shock absorber is installed that the oil reservoir is at the lowest point.

Attention, if the shock absorber is not fitted correctly it will be of no use.

Fit the washers and screw the nuts into place.

Your car is now fitted with a high quality hydraulic shock absorber.
