Rear Spring and Shock Replacement
I am replacing my rear shocks on my 2002 Maxima with the Monroe factory shocks. I have looked under the back on the car many times for a good spot to jack the car up but I'm not sure where to place it to get it on the stands. Does anyone know the right spot to us the hydro jack on the rear?

You'll probably be best off using jack stands on both rear side lift points.

Sweet, thank you, I've been looking for a diagram of this for ever. Another thing, am I better off buying a spring compressor or should I just rent one?
