Default How do you replace the rear shocks on a '94?

Exactly what the title says. I have no idea how to. I know you remove the rear tires, but after that, i have no idea.

Thanks

lay down the back seat, then pull the carpet back. By the very top on the sides there's two pieces of foam stuffed into a hole on each side. Pull those out and there's where the top of the shocks are mounted. Undo those and then undo the bolts on the axle and you can pull them out.

and if you dont want to pull the carpet back there are two pre cut spots in the carpet that you can use. they are held in place at small spots you have to cut and are cut three sided so you can fold them back in place. are a tad more noticable after you cut them but cant see em unless you look for em.

yah not to hard. i think may have errored and need to correct myself, if i remember right the place in the carpet is pre marked and you have to cut the carpet with a razor or the likes. if someone has already done it then you should be able to find em. the upper bolts are the hardest. even more so if you take the carpet up. to do it right you gota take the plastic molding off to get it back in place.

Alright. Well this should be fun. I was hoping to find a guide online with pictures and ****. Can the entire shock be changed from inside the car? Like to the point where i never have to jack the car up, and remove the tires?

NO, you're going to have to jack up the car to remover the bottom bolts holding the stock to the rear axle. You can do it without removing the tires, but use jack stands under the axle or body.

sam strano told me about that. had to look pretty close to find them. like a row of carpet hairs, or whatever there called, was missing and thats what marked the spot.
op agree with arrow the car has to be jacked up or youll need a pit to drive over and climb down into to get under the car. is this your first time doin anything to the car? if so have someone that knows a bit about cars help out if you can.
