How difficult is it to change rear supension?

Jesus Shaves

I own a MarkII Laguna and the 2 rear suspensions are gone.
It doesn't look like a difficult job, just wondering do you need any special tools to do it

Also is it normal for the ABS light to come on after i've had work done to the car, recently had a gearbox and steering rack replaced and both times the abs light has come on, it now comes on intermittently.

Not that hard, if your changing the shock and spring at once easy job.

Changing the spring on it's own you would need a compression tool to wind the spring down so you can take it out safely without loosing an eye. But not a big job.

As for the ABS light no it's not normal and it's suggesting a fault or a loose sensor I would go with a loose sensor.

Same as changing the spring just compress it and remove it from the old shock, then add it too the new shock and decompress it.

There's probably a few more steps but I wouldn't be afraid to tackle it outside in my garden!

Check to see if any special tools are required to separate the spring from the shock.
Taking it out should be handy.
