Replacing the rear shock absorbers is very straightforward since the springs are not co-axial with the shock absorbers themselves; lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove both the rear wheel and the corresponding wheel well cover; proceed to remove the bolt that secures the shock absorber eyelet to the rear axle, followed by the bolts on the upper mount; at this point, transfer the complete mount with the boot from the old shock absorber to the new one (compare the lengths of both) and then reverse the steps for installation.
