by the way hello.
i just bought a 1996 xj6 and i need to replace the shocks. can some please help me with a video or photo essay, even a service diagram on the best way to do this. and where does the top of the shock mount. do you get to it from the trunk or do i have to take out the back seat

 

sorry for not doing a full intro, now that i took the time and read the intro i understand and appreciate. this is my second jag xj6, 102,000 miles, im a office admin. by day, and a tow company g.m. by night and weekend. i live in the san francisco area. thank you for this forum. i cant afford the 150.00per hour mechanic charges, and love to do it myself. i have access to a full repair shop with lift. thank god for that. anyway thanks again

 

Welcome to the forum and good luck with the shocks,im sure you will get all the help you need in the XJ section.

Thank you for all your help, i got the rear shocks done in 5hrs. Yes it alot of elbow grease, but at the end of it i loved every minute of it. I could not have done it with out the photo essay link form graham

 

Well done.
There's not much on these vehicles that owners can't fix with a basic toolkit, determination and the information on the forum. You've got much better facilities available than most here!
