This article describes how to replace the rear shock absorber boot on a Hyundai ix35.

Due to its "special" suspension on the Hyundai ix35, at low speeds, a slight knock from the rear axle may appear (even if the suspension is in perfect condition). The problem lies in the standard anthers, they must either be replaced or modified as described below.

1. Engage 1st gear (transfer the automatic transmission selector to the “P” position) and install the chocks “boots” under the front wheels.

At the same time holding the central rod of the shock absorber with pliers, sharply turning the key to “17”, we tear off the nut holding the central rod and the upper cup of the shock absorber. Remove the boot from the shock absorber.
