I had one book marked but the link is dead.
http://www.moddedmustangs.com/mach1-shock-and-strut-install.html

Just looking for a good write up so I can swap out these shocks and struts.

I second this. Everyone needs a Haynes manual, even if it isn't perfect.

I am currently reading the Chiltons. Just like looking at different things to get a better idea of it before I jump in.

Pictures from different angles help a lot. The pics ion the Chiltons are pretty weak.

This is best one I got in my bookmarks

Strut Replacement For Dummies


shocks are very simple, you shouldn't even need a how to on that.

Not everyone knows..thats why we have this forum and manuals..I like to do a little research before doing stuff also....great responses in here though. Maybe one should be posted in the tech articles if not already?

You should always use a manual or at least review how-to instructions on the web.
