I am sorry samnc but since we took it back to the garage to have it done I don't know. I don't think it would be that hard to figure out though if you had it up on a hoist. I used to do all my own work on cars but I quit doing since I have arthritis in my right hand. I think that there is only two bolts, one the top and one on the bottom of the shock, that holds the shock to the body. I am sorry I canot be of more help.

Our vehicle is a 2006 Toyota Sienna. I just checked with my wife and she does not remember what she paid at the Toyota Dealership for the two rear shocks. You could most likely get it done a lot cheaper if you stayed away from the dealership.

Replying to: wayne937 (Jun 13, 2008 12:33 pm) O5 sienna AWD limited, changed rear shock at around 46 Kmi. Boucing every bump or pot hole (from the rear). One of the rear shock is bad. Replaced both rear w/ KYB shock (OEM, cost $85/ pair) and it is fine now. I think 46 Kmi is too early to have to replace the shock. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Feb 18, 2009 7:56 am)

Yes! I agree with you. However, those things will happen from time to time. I think they need to give their customers a longer time limit on their warranty. It would be nice if they gave a 50,000 miles warranty instead of the standard three year or 36,000 mile warranty. It seems like as soon as the warranty is up is when things begins to happen. Maybe that is their plan. By making inferior parts that last just over the warrant period they can make money by selling more parts.
