Default Clunk, Clunk!

Hey guys, when i am driving i get a loud clunk clunk in the front. I got the shocks replaced in the back and new boots in the front. When they replaced the boots in the front they had to put everything back in place because some kid threw all the original stuff back on when he went to sell it and damaged some stuff. So i have been lead to believe it is the shocks/struts in the front. What do you think? I just cant bring it back to the place i got them done in the back because they slapped me with a 900$ bill. I was thinking of doing it myself. So in essence i wanted to know:
1. what you guys think the problem is?

2. Is it fairly easy to change the front shock/struts for somone who has never done it before?

3. Any step by step excellent tutorials you guys know of?

Seriously though, you guys are the best and have helped a great deal in the past. Thanks in advance!

Ps: Sorry for the long post :\

Yes, the rears do suck, but as the poster said in the second post you can loosen the rear axle assembly (4 large bolts) to sneak the springs out. Thats the only way i do it now because its that much easier. Just make sure to REPLACE the axle assembly bolts because they are a stretch bolt and will come loose if re-used.

The fronts are easy if you have someone help. The rears suck, you will swear like there's no tomorrow.
