Shock question

Hey all,

On a recent trip I hit a large freeway joint and my car's been making a popping noise from the front driver side. I took it to the dealership and they said my shock has blown. I have tokico blues, so my question is can I replace just the blown one or should I replace both front shocks? I'll be replacing with tokico's again, either way. Thanks!

Re: Shock question

Sometimes when a shock it leaking fluid doesnt necessarily mean that the shock is gone, it could be going bad. Or sometimes even when the shock is gone, you cant really even tell the difference.
