Does anyone know if access to the rear strut towers for a 04 stratus coupe is the same as a sedan? If so I can reach them in the trunk correct? If not where are they located? I heard that coupes and sedans may have different access points for struts.

 

Pull the bottom of the rear seat out, and remove the 2 side panels for the back of the seat. There will be one bolt per side holding each side panel in. Pull the panel off and you will have access to the strut.

 

Got it. Thanks! Now I am having trouble removing the rear strut at the bottom where it connects to the wheel. I have the bottom bolt out and the two top bolts by the back seat but the strut won't budge... seems like there is a lot of tension on it. I was told it should it should slide out... why isn't the strut coming out?

 

when i did mine(sedan) had to use a hammer to tap it off bottom,its also a REAL PAIN to get back on,use a pry bar to lift it up and hammer to tap it on lower mount,
