<p dir="ltr">Totally agree.  Normally the drivers side gets weaker first, not always a passenger in the car.  If the pass side broke, the drivers side is still worn.  I'd want a fresh new set.  As the manuals state....false economy not to change some parts.  Cost isn't much but can be a big job.<br>
