My first problem, I got two new struts replaced at a mechanic who went out of business conveniently two months later. The front left strut seems to not be working properly, its leaked out grease and I assume its not absorbing any shock because ive got a cracked rim now. My question, I believe my passenger side is still in good shape and i maybe just got unlucky with the drivers front one.
Can i replace one strut? Ive heard its recommended to replace both at once.
This is the strut i was looking at http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/200..._assembly.html
Its made from Monroe.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

You can replace a strut Advance Auto and Auto Zone have loaner tools as you will have to compress the spring. You can purchase a loaded strut but you should purchase two of these. I would check what brand you have and try to get a new one under warranty.
If you install loaded struts definitely get an alignment.
