I have performed many searches and also looked at the FAQ on
How to Change Shocks And Struts at http://web.archive.org/web/200111091...x/springs.html but I can find no reference as far as how to actually access the upper rear strut/shock bolt and mount on my 1996 maxima. I have seen the process for the front struts but not the rear. Do I access the upper bolt from inside the trunk, or do I have to remove the rear seats? It doesn't appear I can get to it from underneath the car. I'm also guessing I should go ahead and replace the strut mounts while I'm at it, right? I've got 183,000miles on the car and have never replaced any of them. It's probably time to replace my drive belts as well - ya think? (I know the answer to that one)

Thanks,
Van

It's accessed through the trunk behind the trunk lining.
