my recent rear suspension work

Hi,
I thought that I would post my recent rear suspension work for anyone thinking about DIYing.
CAR: 2004 9-5 ARC Sedan 123,000 miles
SYMPTOM: Rear tires wearing prematurely, lots of rear suspension noise, 1â low ride height on both sides..
NEW PARTS: New OE wagon springs, Monroe shocks, Powerflex poly trailing arm bushings, OE cross-stay bushings
REPAIR: The OE trailing arm bushings almost fell out of the car. I purchased a Rosebush tool for the cross-stay bushings; this tool is necessary and made that job real easy. The shock top nuts were the hardest part of the job. An electric impact wrench and sawzall were both also essential tools..
RESULT: First time in years the rear suspension is quiet and the car aligned perfectlyâ¦
