Replacing the rear shock absorbers is simpler than the front ones since there are no coiled springs; lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the rear wheels. Remove the mounting pin of the shock absorber eyelet and apply a jack to support the suspension during disassembly.

Next, remove the wheel well cover to access the mounting bolts of the upper shock flange and unscrew them. At this point, take off the flange and rubber bushing from the old shock absorber and install them on the new one to mount it on the vehicle, securing the upper part first and then the lower part.
