Driver's Side Rear Shock Leaking

I will be replacing both rear shocks (as a pair) over the next week. I don't want to go lower (or at least not lower than 1/2") from stock. I'm hoping I can find a place that can just replace the shock, but something tells me that it would cost more in labor than just replacing the entire unit.

If you listen really closely... you can faintly hear some members on here saying pick up the phone and ask for quotes in your area

There has been adequate threads on here already about replacing the shocks and struts, most recently by the poster above me with excellent pics.

Replace BOTH, not just one! Like brakes, they get replaced in pairs.

FYI most aftermarket shocks are tuned for the accord and are way too soft for the TL-S. If you want to go with stock height and ride, Koni Yellow + Stock Springs OR

Upgade to Eibach Springs and use a Ground Control kit to be able to adjust height back up to factory:

I went with the Koni FSD on my 4G TL and now regret them as they are tuned for the accord and are WAY to soft for my liking.
