Go to Autozone.com and register, click %26quot;repair info%26quot;, select your car, and click %26quot;View Repair Guide%26quot;. It's all right there for free, including an exploded view. Under %26quot;Suspension%26quot;-%26quot;Shock Absorber%26quot;. You'll need the spring compressor, and a fairly complete set of metric tools, and have an alignment done afterwards.How to change the struts/shocks on a mazda rx8?
If your pretty good with cars then why are you asking this question? lol. Anyway, your best bet is to get a repair manual for your car. It'll show you all the necessary steps to take. You may need a spring compressor which you can rent out at any local auto parts store.How to change the struts/shocks on a mazda rx8?
