Default Noob question... (driver side shock not working well)

Hi all i have a noob question

I have 06 sport pkg is350 but I found out my drivers side shock isn't working well. Should I just replace the rear suspensions with original replacement part or replace all 4? Thanks in advanced

Well it depends. If your into modding then I'd just go with a coilover because it comes with a new shock and you can adjust ride height. The price range for it can be between $650-$1500. Not to sure how much it would be for just 1 stock shock. What are your plans for your car?

Wait, so is your front driver side shock or your rear driver side shock going out?

I guess the point is moot. Typically it's recommended that you replace shocks in pairs (two fronts or two rears) if your expenses don't allow you to replace all four. My two rears started leaking and I took the opportunity to replace all four with the FSport shocks.

If it's your front shocks that are leaking and you're local (to me in SoCal), PM me, you can have my oem front shocks. (Unless suspension for the 250s and 350s is different.)
