Right now it needs shocks. Someone mentioned a shop on 17 in paramus but I checked the archives and nothing came up.   Neil Flanagan (Electriceel) Member Username: Electriceel Post Number: 139 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 19, 2003 - 12:35 pm:    Any STS, Pep Boys or mom and pop garage would be able to handle replacing shocks. It's DIY with basic hand tools and a little time. You can swap out the rears in 15 minutes with only a 19mm wrench and large vice-grips to hold the bottom shock body. Fronts are only slightly more involved since you have to remove the upper shock tower. Shouldn't take longer than 1.5 hours for all 4 for even a novice. Only problem you may run into is if the front shock top stud nut is rusted, but you could always just grind or saw that off the tower.
