I am trying to replace the rear shocks in my 98 explorer. I got the front ones with no problem, but where are the bolts to get the rear ones off?
has anyone ever done this...........need advise!

Just a bit tougher. The top bolts are on a bracket at the top of the rear frame crossmember. Best to access them by dropping your spare tire down and removing it.
