Interesting tidbit:

You can change rear shocks with the car on ramps. (And YES, I've done it!)

RR if you feel up to it, you can sort of take pics and document the process into a DIY file similar to Rgal's brake job.

Eventually I will categorize and databas any entries.

That's only if you feel up to it. :smile:

I'll take pics and write it up in the next week

Based on Hack's encouragement above and the one FYI writeup I've found (which is pretty close in method to Hack's comments ) I'll give it a try as soon as my shox come in...the Ground control RSM's are here already.....

Yes, you're beHolden to him, now.

Marty, maybe have a tech day? I'd be willing to do the crawling around in your trunk to get at the mount tops...

Small size and a limber body should be on list of Reqm'ts

As you suggest I think this will require someone as flexible and limber as yourself to climb in the trunk and get at the top shock mount.....

Nice to see so familiar handles many here already......
