Replacing Shock Absorbers?
So I've done my front struts before (on a 2009 Maxima) but haven't done the rear shock absorbers. Does anyone know of a write-up on that one for the 7th gen? I can't imagine it being more difficult than replacing the front struts. I'm finding info on other gen Maximas but nothing on the 7th gen. Is this something people just take to the dealer to do?

For those who may stumble on this thread looking for an answer, all you have to do is remove the two 14mm nuts, accessed from the bottom of the wheel well. You'll see them toward the top of the shock (where it attaches to the car). Probably one of the easiest things I replaced on my Maxima.
