Absorb that shock, Maestro!

 The front shock absorbers were worn out as the car was a bit bouncy 

 We use a sturdy spring compressor, so changing them safely was no hassle at all.

The whole assembly fitted to the car: big improvement! The rear seems fine, but now I'm tempted to change those as well.
