My apologizes if I missed a thread about this, I searched but could not find one. I need to replace the rear shocks and I was hoping someone might be able to give me a breakdown. This one for the front struts was a big help: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forum...205347-quick-diy-front-strut-replacement.html. If one already exists please send me the link. Thanks for your help.
Rear shock replacement - 2003 CTS

The rears are pretty easy. Here's a post from my KW V3 install - not the greatest pics, but will give you some idea what you need to do. Obviously, all the discussion of removing/reinstalling the springs is N/A for you. Basically, remove the rear seat (so you can access the top mounts of the shocks) and unbolt the top mounts. Jack up the rear of the car, unbolt the lower bolt (where it attaches the shock to the knuckle), and pull the shock out. Transfer the top mount over to the new shock (if it doesn't come with a top mount already on it), and install the shock.
