Should shock absorbers really be done in pairs?
Discussion
Hi all,
Just had my FN2 Type R serviced and my private mechanic spotted n/s front shock had completely gone.
As part of this I've ordered the replacement part myself and will have it done next week.
Whilst Googling I've seen many say shocks should be done in pairs, when I asked my mechanic he said to only replace the one that's gone.
I trust my mechanic as he's looked at the car himself, I'm unsure of age of the other shock so his inspection and judgement is key.
Very interested to hear what people think should have been done here.
