Do I need to purchase two of these to replace both supports, and is there a difference between the left and right support?

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, you would need to purchase 2 in order to receive a pair. There is no difference between the left and right supports. Thank you -- Lift Supports Depot.

I had bought two as left and right side are the same.. but they shipped separately. When the first one came in is a not assembled correctly, so I got a RMA for both. UPS showed up the next day and I gave them the one and they had a pickup for the one they were delivering.. go figure that. Never got reimbursed for either... you are better off going to you local auto parts store and inspect it before you buy.

No there are slight angle and mounting differences. I tried to put the left on the right side by mistake and it would not fit. Lost a nice frustrating hour on that mistake.

This is for left side. You would need to purchase 181572R for the right side.

They are the same for right or left. Just remember after installing you will have to have the front end aligned.

I totally agree with Glenn. It's not that much more expense to do both sides at the same time. I have had mechanics and parts dealers says that if one side is gone , then it is only a matter if time before the other one fails. You can buy just the one you need. And it may cure any problem you have for a long while. Just know that you could have the problem again soon if you change only one.

I would suggest getting both sides at the same time. The replacements look so much better than the ones being replaced.

Yes, the item is for a set of two supports (as I mentioned in my review). Happy to confirm this for you.

Yes additional support is needed. The first ones were recalled. The ones on the market are improved.do not buy a used one.unless you know it is not the old recalled one.

Hi, yes one for the left and a different number for the right your two part numbers are correct. The left one will be stronger because they normally sag on the left because the fuel tank is on that side. You are making a great discussion getting these they work great. Bruce

I used the one I purchaced on the left front. I believe the listing showed the same part for either side.

The supports I bought came as singles. I think both should be replaced at the same time though, so I bought two.

Yes , you will need one per side! They are pricey but very nice. I love mine!

I would replace both, I don't remember if the right and left side were different, they probably were.
