first of all io wanna apologize for flooding the site with so many Q's
also wanna thank you for helping and support... well i ordered complete
set of shocks n struts for like 260.... labor was quoted 60 per..so 240....
from the threads i learned that i needed to replace bearings.... got the front 2 from infinitiparts..... but the rear struts i guess does not have a bearing.....?
is ther anything i should change while doing a shock strut change?
thank you i am saving alottta money and effort cuz of you guys!!!!
freee dash warranty and power seat that would've costed me 1200 dealer prpice...
got em done for 70 gear part and 40 labor!!!! yea!!! IS!!!!
 
nothing really needed for the rears except a paper like gasket which should be fine. looks like you are utilizing the site pretty good. keep searching tons of info already discussed.
 
Any inclination in lower your ride with sport springs such as H&R Springs. They have to take apart the spring to replace the strut anyway. The rear spring, just a matter of swapping it out. It will save you more $$ if you do this with your struts and shocks. Click here: H&R Springs on ebay
 
if i were to keep the ride height the same than i won' need the spring changed right? I guess not .................. just a newb
 
so if i wanted to save some money then you recommend that i
jack up the rear of the car and just unbolt the strut and bolt them back in?
is it as easy as unbolting and bolting in? maybe ill do a search in diy and see if they have any pics...
 
rears are different than the front, rears have shocks and springs.. Sometimes those bolts are on really tight, also therw is a procedure how to take off the bolts and springs..

Heres a DIY
