Is there anything special that must be done to replace the rear shocks on a 2000 SSE? This is the first time I'm getting involved with a self-leveling system. Is changining the shocks as simple as disconnecting the air hose, remove the shock, replace with new and reconnect the air hose?
TIA

and for future reference, if you could put your year and trim level (SE, SLE, SSEi) in your signature it makes it alot easier for us when you ask questions

I've been buying all my parts from https://www.rockauto.com/applet3.html
Good prices, reliable, and get parts in 2 days. Actually, i'll probably order the rear shocks from them. They offer Monroe'* for $59.79 and two different ACDelco shocks, $91.79 & $109.99

I haven't used the Monroes on this car (thought that was what I was ordering - but ended up with something else) but have on others. My personal preference is to use the Monroes. I do not think that they come with the mounts, and I agree with Toasty. The mounts really should be replaced at the same time. They have been known to be an issue.
