Replacement of Front shocks of a 2012 Fiat 500. Step by step. Nice and easy job if all the bolts are not rusty!! You will need a spring compressor/clamp to change the springs from old to new shocks. New shocks will need either Alan key or Torx male socket as well as a 19mm spanner to remove the top nut when removing and fitting.

Doing this job right now... Can't get the new ones installed properly as I cannot figure out how to get the whole strut to stop spinning as I tighten the top mount bolt

sorry mate, just seen the comment after being off line for a while. i think i used a vice grip (mole grip) at the top of the shaft. although i used new struts so it was easier

Hello, This is good video for me, as about to do the same on my panda 2009 which I think is the same underneath :-) It issue I can see is the top mount, I've bought a new one, but am unsure if it includes the bit that the spring sits into? Yours looks like it fell to bits a bit, does it look like it would be all one part? or separate to the top mount? thanks

Hi, if you send me a pic of what you have bought i will be able to tell you if it does. when you buy the shock it should have everything you need to fit the spring on it.

@@allkindsaprojects I'm not sure how I can send a image to you on here, if you look at ebay and search for : Front Strut Mounting Inc Additional Parts Fits FIAT 500 312 C 301 Pan Febi 37584 Should bring you up with the item, thanks.

@@anticat900 Looked and that looks like its all you need. the one on the fiat 500 came apart because it has a washer and a lock nut. this one comes with the nut and the washer looks like its part of the unit. You can remove the top strut on yours to have a look at it before removing everything else, just to check.

@@allkindsaprojects thanks for the check, that will ease things for the job, I've got some springs cheap, so am hoping to only need to compress these and not the originals on the old struts too to remove bits. I hate using those compressors, nearly lost a finger the last time on my rover ☹️

It is a good video - but I am a noob so just "unclipping" 10 years of knowkowledge totally threw me off the ball - for that reason 1 - 10 :) x
