The shocks on my 2000 C230K are getting close to replacement time, and I've got a couple questions:

-Do I need a spring compressor to do the fronts or the rears?
-Does anyone have torque values for the bolts?

Also, any suggestions on good jacking points? My old 300E had a nice solid frame crossmember to jack up the front wheels from, but I don't know if there's one that's similarly structural enough for the C-class.

Thanks!
Anthony
