Default DIY or steps for shock replacement

Does anyone have a DIY or the steps needed to replace the front and rear shocks for the GS4?

I searched the site and couldn't find anything other than some time estimates of 4-8 hrs depending upon your level of being meticulous. (and lunch!)

Also, I'm wondering if it would be advantageous to do the front bushings at the same time?

A copy of service manual steps would work too!


Thanks!

Seems like there was a guy with a website on GS mods/repair. Was it "Banana GS"? I'll try looking for that site again too.

website is: http://lexusmodz.netfirms.com/

I don't believe he has covered shock removal, nonetheless an excellent site for good DIY info on the GS.
