concerning replacing shocks, i'd like to add a few things that might go wrong 1. bolts too tight, wont loosen: try the usual stuff, liguid wrench let it sit overnight heat sometimes helps but be careful. if its still no go then go to a garage! 2. sometimes they are stuck to the bolt, I dont know a good way to get them off but this is how i do it, just pry them off with brute force this will probably tear the rubber abd leave a metal sleeve stuck to the bolt. find the sleeve's weld or seam and separate it with a cold chistle then slide off. dont replace shocks on the side of the road! Bill
