1999 Ford Windstar mileage: 55,000. The Ford dealer has informed me I need new rear shocks at a cost of $250 or so in parts & labor. I have replaced shocks myself a long long time ago, but I figure it can't be that hard. Is this a simple bolt on job in the Windstar or are there any tricks I need to know?

Off the top of our heads, we cannot remember if your car has struts or shocks. If you have struts, $250.00 is a bargain. If you have regular shocks, the price sounds a little steep. Replacing struts requires a special tool (spring compressor) and is more involved than regular shocks.
