Fitting new rear shocks 182 cup packs.

[tanker]

How hard is it to change the rear shocks on the 182's? Mines leaking on near side, so gonna change both rears. Cheers Damo.

Really, really easy. All you have to do is to lift up car, unscrew 2 bolts and its off.

 

[DannyR]

Don't even need to jack it up

 

[DrR]

As above, no need to jack it up!

Bolt under the rubber cover in the boot and bolt going through the bottom of the strut. That's it

Just remember the order things come off/go back on in.
The top of the strut inside the boot, you may need an adjustable spanner/mole grips to stop the shock from spinning as your undoing the nut.

 

[DannyR]

Undo the top nut first inside the car then the one underneath second

do you need to get the geometry re done

 

[DannyR]

No, everything on the rear is fixed
