How do you change the rear shocks on a Firebird?
Well you can see the bottom bolts from under the car if you remove the rear tires. the hard part is the upper bolts. fold down the back seat, remove the inner plastic panels on either side of the car and there will be foam padding. remove the padding (don't throw away) and you'll see the two upper bolts. (one per side of the car). Installation is opposite of removal.

How do you change the rear coil springs on a 91 Honda accord ex?
You will need to remove the panel liners inside both sides of the trunk. This will give you access to the top nut of each rear strut. You will need to remove the existing struts to place the new coil springs over the struts. You may need two jacks, one ot jack the car up and one to use to compress the coil spring you are installing. This takes about 1 and a half hours for both rear coil springs. I bolt on the bottom of the sturt and the nut inside the trunk is all you need to remove to get the struts off and replace the coil springs. Make sure you check the quality of the strut mount bushings (rubber gaskets) before you re-install. They re only about $10 a piece from the dealrer and worth the price if you are going to this much work.

a "clucking" noise? If it's a clicking noise, it may be the CV joints. If it's a clucking noise, it might be a chicken.
I had a clicking noise also, mainly when i drove over bumps. CV joints usually pop when your turning. my problem was the (sway bar links) . They are very easy to replace much easier on a lift , but i did it on the ground without jacking up the van ,and cost me less than $20.00 each at oreily's.
Chances are it is the bushings around the sway bar links. They tend to wear out really fast. I've had 2 sets replaced on a '94 Grand Caravan and they are doing it again. The vehicle only has 77,000 miles on it.

How difficult is it to replace the struts on a 1999 Corolla?
It depends on the tools you have, and the environment you will be working in. The best thing o do is get a book from the parts store on changing struts, or go read about them at a Public Library. The job itself is fairly easy.
I did it last year, the rears were not too bad but the fronts, the lower control arms don't drop far enough without disconnecting the axel shaft and tie rod. But it can be done, be prepared to muscle them in place. That is one job I will never attempt on a Toyota corolla again. On the other hand I did it on a 1987 for Thunderbird, very easy. It is a car model by car model decision.
