If they’re old and one is knackered, seems like it makes sense to do them both at once, particularly if it’s a car you like driving rather than a banger you’re just trying to keep on the road.
Is it front or rear? Are you doing the work yourself? Makes sense to just do it all at once if you were planning to anyway.

You are supposed to change both dampers on the same axle if one dies, same as springs.

My ST's got a leaking damper I'm going to address in a couple of weeks time.
Is it ok to replace it singularly, or should I be looking at replacing opposite sides / all four at once. The ones on the car are presumably all about 20 years old.
Asking because if I should be replacing all four it becomes a question of whether to get stock ones (c.£80 each), or make the jump to the Bilsteins (c.£700) I was going to do eventually now rather than later.
