On the front they are called struts. the shocks are inside of the spring. to get at them you have to remove the struts. With car up in the air there is two bolts holding the struts bottom. on top there is 3 nuts that have to come off to take strut out. Once out the strut will have to be compressed in order to get at the shock.
