Remove Two SHocks at once? Is it safe to remove both rear shocks at once? I want to swap shocks to each other's side to see if one is bad. I assume a jack holding up the rear end in the middle would be enough, in addition to holding the car up by both subframe connecters?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Just run the rear wheels up on ramps. Unless you're the incredible hulk, you should be able to get to the bolts with ease.
The biggest part of the job is pulling the carpet out of the way then getting it back right when your done.
The other thing is getting the top nut off the old shock. I don't know about other shocks but Bilsteins have an 'allen' socket on top so they're easy to hold while you tighten the new top nut.
Good luck!
