It's a 2001, and I'm talking about the front ones. Thanks

IF YOU NEED A DIAGRAM TO REPLACE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS YOU NEED TO LEAVE IT ALONE AND TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC.

.its pretty much bolts and nuts, but if you really need a "diagram", you wont be able to compress the coils safely, just take it to a mechanic before you get a concussion

You'll need to get a good pair of spring compressors for the front to get the the spring off of the shocks. If you you've never worked with spring compressors then, like the others have suggested, take them to a qualified mechanic and have them put them on for you. Mis-use of spring compressors could be the difference between life and death or a missing limb or finger.
