Replacing Rear Shocks on 91 940 SE wagon

Post by gyrene »

Can anyone tell me how to get to the top bolt, to replace rear shocks? I cannot find the access and I have spent the last two hours looking. One thing I do know it is not reached under the car. Help please.

The bolt comes in from the side - underneath.

I thought I had a better picture than this but it does show it as #10, hopefully covered with the rubber plug #11 to keep the dirt out.
