My 2004 Sonata GLS with 112,000 miles on rear strut replacement needed
Any videos on how to replace the rear struts on Hyundai sonata 2004 GLS? Do the seats have to be removed? Can I remove the whole assembly from underneath? Thanks in advance.

Rear struts' top is mounted to a bracket that is bolted to the body.
Just take off wheel, undo the 4 bolts holding that bracket and the one at the bottom (and the one attaching the upper control arm to the wheel carrier), remove from car along with control arm, replace what needed on workbench and bolt the whole thing back on. No need to mess with seats or the vehicle interior at all.
If you prefer working in tight spaces you can try to undo only the strut inside the wheel well ...
