If your E34 rear suspension is anything like my E24s (and E30s) -- EDGEMAN 02/10/2017 12:34PM

You can borrow a spring compressor tool from advanced auto -- MEHOKIE 02/10/2017 1:09PM

No spring compressor required to change the back shocks -- EDGEMAN 02/10/2017 4:37PM

This is what the typical "backyard mechanic" uses: -- EDGEMAN 02/10/2017 4:38PM

This is it in action -- EDGEMAN 02/10/2017 4:39PM

You might need an air gun to get the top nut off the front struts -- EDGEMAN 02/10/2017 4:42PM

Follow up on rear suspension (picture) -- EDGEMAN 02/10/2017 12:48PM

Struts are not that bad to do yourself. Not that good either but not bad ** -- typed by ben 02/10/2017 12:32PM

Yeah, I'm going to take some time to think about that. ** -- Will Stewart
