Ford Taurus shock absorbers?
Taurus sedans have STRUTS that combine the springs and shock absorber/dampers. A skilled home mechanic can remove the struts but it's best to have a shop with a proper strut compressor separate the spring and thedamper section. Taurus wagons have STRUTS on the front, and separate, conventional springs and shock absorbers on the rear. Generally a home mechanic can change these shocks.

How hard is it to change the rear struts on a 2001 Ford Taurus if the used struts come loaded with the coil springs?
Assuming you're going to install the used strut/coil assemblies, then this makes the job a whole lot easier! Not having to compress the coil springs and disassembling the units onto new struts will be a real time-saver. In fact, most strut manufacturers sell a strut/coil spring assembly - at a pretty good premium price. See "Related Questions" below for the repair procedure information
How do you change the shocks on a 2003 Kia Spectra?
That Kia doesn't have "shocks". It has struts, front and rear. They bolt in but you will need spring compressors to swap over the springs and hardware unless you purchase the struts "loaded" with new springs and hardware. Loaded struts cost aprox double what just the strut alone costs.
What is the usual procedure to get the rear coil springs put on and how much does a mechanic typically charge?
We are in the middle of having it done to our 2000 Ford Taurus. The dealership gave us an estimate of $365.00 to change rear coil springs only. An independent shop that we trust told us they believe you should also change the rear struts in conjunction with changing the rear coil springs. He is charging us $419.00 to do all (we live in Michigan).
