Default Spring/Strut install links?

I went to Lexls.com and he has the tutorial for the fronts. Does any one have the link for the rears or both front and rear. My car is the 94 LS400.
Thanks

rears are easy, u have to take out the rear seats to get to the mounts.


lextreme or retro may have stuff up? i know retro has a tut on removing the seats.

There is no tutorial for the rear but it is mostly the same as the fronts.

My experiences:

The rears are a PITA. I ended up using my jack underneath the axle to push the axle up and down. MY rear struts wouldn't fit properly into the axle at first.. I sort of got them halfway in, and then used the jack to push the axle up and the strut popped in. Its definitely a job I DON'T want to do again. Ever.
