just pick up a haynes manual and it'll tell you what to do.


It's pretty simple- the hardest part is just getting the endlinks off without stripping the bolt

if you don't want to have to spend the money on OEM stuff, you can always just get oem replacements such as Monroe struts for half the price

rear shock removal

there will be Two challenges:

1. The endlinks (as always rusty bolts)

2. Care and removal of the Speed Sensors. $150 each if you damage the wires or contact.

a Haynes Manual is the best investment to all DIY guys.

good luck.

its not bad...but definately remove the speed sensors. I know midas had to pick up that tab for me when they broke mine...but it was mainly a waste of my time which ticked me off.
