I have a 2000 Taurus wagon, and need to replace the rear shocks. I know the suspension is different on the wagons than the sedans, and think they have shocks as opposed to struts. I just want to make sure that this is indeed the case, and perhaps be told how to do this job myself. If I'm not mistaken, they can be done easily, by unbolting the top and bottom then just doing a re + re.

If anyone could clarify this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Ryan.
