Gents,

Again, I’ll start by thanking you in advance because your feedback and advice are always more than helpful.

Using your advice, I successfully replaced the front strut shock absorbers on my car.

Can you please provide the work process details to remove and replace the rear strut shock absorbers, associated wear out components, including torque specifications and pro tips?

Many thanks!
