Rear? How could you possibly read thru this thread and think it was for the rear. The rear is just a one piece air shock. No assembly and little skill required. Way cheaper too!

Because I'm a computer geek who is trying to learn as much about his car as he can and still has a ways to go lol. Glad to know they're easier. Thanks John

I'm the forum member that posted on 4-28-2010 "Good Deal on Monroe Struts". After retiring from the General Motors Fisher Body Lansing MI plant with 31 years I agreed to help my daughter and her boyfriend bring a 1992 Bonneville SE back to life. Replaced the brake booster, master cylinder, complete brakes front & rear, front stabilizer bar and installed Monroe Quick Struts all the way around. To install the struts you need two people, an air impact wrench and torches. The top bolts aren't bad but the bottom bolts can be a real challenge. Remove the nuts and heat the steering knuckle. Install the nut over the end of the bolt(so it won't mushroom the bolt). Have one person hit the threaded end of the bolt with a bfh(hammer) while the other person uses the air impact wrench. After much persuasion the bolts will give. I researched the best strut setup for an SE model and found the Monroe Quick Struts were the way to go. Advance Auto had the best price period. Hurry on the Monroe promo. This car now handles like it did when it came off the factory floor 18 years ago.
