had a search on this site but i cant find a guide on how to change the nearside shock absorber. basically what i wanna know is can it all be done underneath the car or do i have to strip down the interiour as well???
 
Should all be from outside , there could be a bolt inside the boot area not sure but rear shocks are allways easy . Just unbolt the lower mount with the car on stands let the arm swing down then undo the upper.
If its like the alfa's which it prob is then be carefull with the upper bolt as its prob behind a rubber bung inside the rear arch and when undoing they tend to drop down into the abyss forever being a rattle so something sticky in the socket should help.
 
cheers mate had a look at the rear axle i have stuck in back garden and it looks like the bottom bolt is very similair to the top bolt and should be accessable from the underneath just looks like i will have to remove the exhaust for the 6th time.

i always like to look at a guide b4 i do anything so i know what im looking for
 
managed to get old one off no bother quite easy and only took an hour to take onee off the old axle in garden and replace on the car
