I need to replace strut and strut mount on passenger front side. It is recommended that I replace both front struts at the same time even though the driver side does not need it. I am told that the car won't handle properly if both are not done at the same time. Is this true or just another way to charge me more money? We plan to sell the car and are trying to do minimum amount, but want the car to be safe. Thanks.

Hi there,

There is no stead fast rule that you must replace both struts at the same time, if you intend to sell the car I would be doing only the faulty strut, if you were keeping it I would be doing both.
