Exclamation Replacing one of the Struts

I have about 4200 miles on the car. The dealer is replacing one of the Struts. So that means I’ll have three used struts, and one new one. Will this cause any problems in the future like uneven tire wear?

Thanks

No, it will not cause any problems if the dealer replaced one strut out of four. Same scenario happened to me. Since it was replaced early at 4200miles, you should not feel much of a difference in ride quality. Was a wheel alignment done? It should be done but it is not necessary. Ideally, struts should be replaced in pairs to even the wear and tear and for safety reasons but since it was done early at 4200miles, it should not be a problem. Just keep an eye out for possible abnormal tire wear, but it should not occur at all.
