Hi all,
I'm new here and have been searching around but haven't found just what I'm looking for. I'm going to tackle replacing the shocks and struts on my wifes car. I ordered the shocks, struts and upper spring mount from IPD but am wondering what else I really should replace once I'm in there.

I'm pretty handy with a wrench but have never done this before. Does anyone have a link to information or diagrams on this job?

Thanks in advance.

Peter

 

All the info you need are under "Replacing Struts" and "Rear Shocks" in this link

Other parts you probably want to replace while you are there are

- Spring seat on the front strut. These crack often
- endlinks. The balljoint on these last about as long as the struts
