I need to replace my rear struts on my 95 mystique. What is the procedure to do the rears. I have 4 wheel disc brakes. I done the fronts a few months ago, now I need to do the rears.

with rear disks it isn't to bad, i would say it is easier then the front. once you get the hub off the strut it will drop away enough to get the strut out. you will need to compress the strut to get the lip off the body, you will see what I mean when you get the wheel off, normally with the car on the ground the two do not touch, then it is jus thte two bolts at the top that hold the strut in

or you can drop the subframe slightly to get the tab off the lip.
