[QUOTE="01cobravortech, post: 14151454, member: 14885"] Ok I apologize in advance if we have threads on this subject, but for whatever reason I'm not locating them properly through the search feature. Perhaps I'm not using the correct search terms. So is replacing rear shocks as simple as, jacking up the rear on jack stands. Then placing jack under the rear control arm, of the shock that I am going to replace. Loosen the bolt and nut of the shock eye first. Then loosen the top nut of the shock in the trunk area. Remove shock and insert new shock and start with tightening the shock eye bolt and nut? Also anyone have the torque values that I need to tighten to spec? Lastly, I suspect that this job can't be done without an impact wrench??? Was hoping a breaker bar and torque wrench would suffice. Thanks in advance for all replies. Just looking for the finer details that tend to be overlooked by the average driveway mechanic. :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
