Rear shocks replacement - DIY?

Post by spitineye » Tue Sep 01, 2009 2:21 pm

Afternoon all,

Finally got around to buying new rear shocks.....just as my mechanic goes off on holiday for a whole load of weeks! How dare he! :wink:

As i would like to get this sorted ASAP, does anyone there reckon I could do it myself? (ie possibly by myself as missus is away this weekend) I would obviously have to invest in a jack and the axle stands etc tho.
:-k

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
