Hi, new to site and first forum

have a grande punto 1.4 8v, 2006, 23k; have a lot of vibration from rear and when jacked up back , the shocks are gone; not loaded car up or hit any big holes - is this a recurring problem with rear shocks? or just me?

if i change the rear shocks, apart from jacking up, taking off wheel and undoing anything - what else do i need to know?

should i put standard replacement ones on or would it be better to by uprated shocks? - if so where from or ideas of manufacturers?

any help be really appreciated?

also, where would i find torque settings for upper/lower bolts?
