To remove rear shocks:
# Raise and support the vehicle and remove the wheels
# Put a jack under the rear axle and raise it slightly to take the tension off the shock
# Remove the lower shock absorber bolt/nut and disconnect the shock from the rear axle.
# Remove the upper shock absorber-to-chassis bolt to release the shock from the vehicle
To install rear shocks: # Attach the shock absorber to the upper mounting bracket and install a new retaining bolt/nut.
# Using the jack you put under the axle, slowly raise the axle while guiding the shock into the lower mounting bracket.
# Install a new retaining bolt/nut and tighten to 50-68 ft. lbs.
Don't forget to put the wheels back on...

Your Windstar may not have shocks. Please verify. My Windstar has a X look in the back with coil springs and thus no shocks because that is handled by the X.

Can you replace zw7 shocks on a 2003 Tahoe with standard shocks?
If you replace the manual leveling shocks on the rear with regular shocks you also have to replace the rear coil springs with stiffer ones. Use gm part #15182559 or bilstein part #199021 to replace the coil springs. The coil springs that come with the manual leveling shocks are not stiff enough to use with regular shocks, causing the rear end to droop.
