Suspension problem
1997 Infiniti I30 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I need to replace my rear shock mounts but I'm not sure on how to do it. Is there an easy step by step way to replace them?

First, do you have a spring compressor? I'm not talking about the cheap one from autozone.

I would advise not doing it then. Ecspecially if you have never done one before. The spring has a lot of tension on it. When you unbolt the strut mount all that tension has go to go somewhere. People can get hurt doing this if they don't know what they are doing. This is why you need a spring compressor. HTH.
