What do people use to relieve the car's pressure on the shock when removing?
I know Saab makes a special tool for this, but i'd rather not go buy it just to inspect the shocks (and possibly remove them).
I'm getting a rattle near the passneger side rear wheel well so i'm thinking mabye it might be a loose bolt or bushing that holds the shock in place (reasonable guess?... i'm SO NEW to all of this!)
