Changing struts/shocks.. can someone give me a step by step?

I just want to make sure I do this right.. I'm pretty sure I just put the car up on stands for the front, and support the control arm with the jack.. and then I guess it'll be pretty self explanatory from there, just 3 bolts I think.. right?

And I have no idea for the rear.. I've never looked up under there. Where to the tops of the shocks mount in the rear? Do I need to remove the interior trunk panels, or... ?

Thanks in advance
-Jeremy

They are incredibly easy! I got the directions for mine with the shocks, did it step by step, and it worked out perfectly.

The rear is easy. The top bolt is in back of the rear seats, the carpet folds up. There is one bolt on top, one bolt on bottom.

Fronts are also easy. If you don't get directions with the shocks/struts, get a haynes/chiltons manual or something (if you don't have one already).

Trust me, you have nothing to worry about.

The Carpet Folds up like a Fox! I had to Take Half My Freakin Interior Out To Get To Them

Other than That, Easy
