replacing rear shocks vt wagon

[darren44]

Hi all.
Been looking and cant find a how-to for replacing the rear shocks in a wagon.
Is it reccomended to do the springs as well.
Not alot of funds at the moment.
Rear shocks are leaking.
What price should I pay ?

Thanks
Darren

i'm doin the rears on my mum's vt wagon... not sure if there any different to other wagons but i'd say they'd be under the flooring of the boot! i picked them up fairly cheap! $90 for monroe...well i think thats cheap anyway...

To replace the rears you undo the plate that attaches the shock to the body then remove the bolt from the bottom of the shock to the trailing arm. Once all out you change the plate over to the new shock and bolt straight back in.

.....And locktite the big bolts at the bottom of the shocks. One of mine fell out
a long way from home. Thanks for help RAC.
