Shock absorber is leaking. Do I have to replace both of them

[Voytek]

I have done 110,000 km on my 4 years old Pajero. One of rear shock absorbers (driver side) is leaking and I have to replace it. Do I have to replace both of them?

Appreciate your advice.

Its better if you change all 4, as you can change one and then next month other one and so on. Usually when one shock fails its an indication to change all for better usability of all 4 new ones.

shock absorbers are very expensive, i have spent so much.

i have seen a few in sharjah scrap yard and they are far cheaper there.
