The torque spec for the rear nut/bolt assembly is 81 ft/lbs and the torque spec for the two upper mount bolts is 21 ft/lbs. The torque spec for the nut that holds the dust boot and all other shock assembly parts is 22 ft/lbs.

Removal should be pretty straight forward, shouldn't have to remove anything other than the said nuts/bolts.

Hey you got a part number? I have been unable to find the d spec shocks and struts for my 04 6mt sedan. Or, I haven't been able to find any with part numbers that match what's on the car. I'm hearing a rattle when I hear bumps that I hope is coming from the shocks, like maybe the bushings at the bottom. Or maybe the compression rod bushings, which I think are responsible for my sloppy steering. I have 250K so I suppose it's time. But I just can't figure out which shocks and struts I'm supposed to be getting to begin with.
