Any pointers for a DIY rear shock replacement?
It seems pretty straightforward since there isn't a spring to remove to get to the shock. Do I just loosen the nut at the upper shock mount then lift the car allowing the suspension to drop followed by loosening the lower shock bolt? Thanks for any tips.

I don't know, it looks straightforward cuz i was thinking the same thing since i want to replace the shocks myself but i don't want to risk myself of getting myself kill if anything goes wrong while i'm under the chasis.
