Shock absorbers are the same as brakes. You must always replace as an axle set, i.e. both sides at tha same time.
It would be potentially dangerous to do only one side, even if it is not leaking.

I checked the paperwork I kept for the yellow Koni's on my car; 80-1675 were for the front and 80-1794 rears.

Booked the car into link for tomorrow, would love to give it a go myself as it looks relatively cheap & simple to fix but need the car to drive to Lourne this Saturday, and I don't have the parts and a place to do it.

Got the shocks from Topperformance in Vermont. Can't remember what I paid. I'll check when I get home.

Working on a budget, I'd simply replace the shocks with new ones of the same.
No real need to upgrade unless the car is lowered or driven quite hard.


Ho ho ho...upgrade from Konis???? Well I suppose it is possible...
