<DIV><FONT size=2>I've only ever replaced them singly - as long as they are
replaced with the same type. Unlike telescopics which altered the damping
as they aged, and had to be (expensively! Which is why I went back to
lever-arms) replaced as a pair, in my experience the lever-arms give consistent
damping - while the oil lasts.</FONT></DIV>
