Puttin springs on my buddy's 2000 Sedan. Got to the rear and it's obviously different that my 5th gen's setup with the 5 link. How do the shocks come out?

We were running out of time, but it looks like the swaybar might have to be removed in order to get the shock out? Is that right? Thanks...

 

yes the sway bar need to be removed. the endlinks are a complete **** to get off if you live somewhere it snows. in that case you can remove the endlink bracket. you might need you friend to stand on the hub to get the shock out but it will work
