I own a 99 CV and did the rears myself with a cutting touch took me a half an hour to cut them down and replace them with Monroe Air Shocks. Just make sure your away from the gas Tank and lines and have a garden hose handy when the rubber bushings on the shocks start to burn. Most people won't do it this way because of the gas tank but if your handy with a touch and very carefull you'll have no problem. My biggest problem was running the air lines, I ended up running the lines through the chasis. I do all my own work on all three of my vehicles I don't let anyone touch my vehicles this way I no it's done and done right. GOOD LUCK

Dave, you can install the IASs yourself, no special tools or anything like that needed.
I've done them in a parking lot on a '01, which is much more difficult than on any '79-97...

Thanks Ron. I've done it before, but not on anything newer than an 85 Caprice. With the new stuff on vehicles now, I don't want to get surprised. I'll probably do the fron pair myself and see if I can get a deal for someone to help with the rears.

That's more like it. Everyone has posting about Pep Boys, so I stopped by while I was out getting an ice cream with the kids. $13.99 installation fee per shock.

I'll be at their doorstep as soon as I get the IAS's.

I don't know what that Goodyear guy was talking about. He said the rears where a strut type shock (shock inside a spring). I looked under there and all I saw was the shock. Not inside a spring.
