I had the shock absorbers changed on my Explorer by a Ford dealer using Motorcraft

shocks , none of my shocks were leaking or damaged in any way but I had about

53,000 miles on them , I noticed the change as soon as I made my first turn , the

turn in was sharper , there was less body " roll " , the Explorer just felt more

stable . At that point I realized that shock absorbers wear so gradually that I didn't

remember what it was like when it was new

How do you change rear shock absorbers for 1991 Toyota Cressida Do the rear seat need to be removed?

To change the rear shock absorbers on a 1991 Toyota Cressida, you typically need to lift the rear of the vehicle and support it securely. The rear seats do not need to be removed for this process; instead, access to the top of the shock absorbers is achieved through the trunk. Remove the nuts securing the top of the shock, then unbolt the bottom attachment from the axle or control arm, and replace the shock. Finally, reassemble everything and ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
