98 Avalon back seat diagram?

[Joon525]

1998 Avalon XLS (I think it's an XLS)
My mother-inlaw's Avalon has a bad rattle in the rear.
I'm going to assume it's the strut mounts but before I go taking anything apart I was wondering is someone knew of an exploded diagram online for this car? I took a quick look in the trunk and it looks like you access the rear strut mounts from behind the back seat inside the cabin.

I'm going to assume that it comes out similarly to my wife's 2002 Camry in regards to the bottom cushion. The seat back is probably similar but from what I remember, the rear seats don't fold down in this Avalon which would make it a little different. (Maybe they do fold down and I just missed the manual locks that hold it up?)

i can assure you that the seats do not fold down, but as to a diagram, i do not know where to find one online.

Thanks. No biggie on the diagram. I'm going to assume that it's the same old bolts are at the bottom and plastic hooks at the top deal.

The sound could be the stabilizer bar bushings worn out.
You might want to replace these first as they are easy and cheap.

In between where each persons legs would be when seated, there are latches for the bottom piece to simply pull up. I have taken out the bottom of mine to clean, and could see bolts for the back at the bottom.
