Default Is there any problem changing 1 Sturt only?

Need some wiz here to help out. My rear left strut is bend by approximately 5 degree. Is it possible to change just that strut or I have to change the pair at rear? The car is MY01 WRX using STI struts. Thanks

Nothing wrong with putting the same type of sti strut in to replace the bent one. Just make sure the spring rates are the same (should be if it's from the same year etc).

Oh, and stop drifting into curbs. Then your struts won't bend

How about if I replace the strut only using my existing spring? Is that alright? I think the bend is from the sand pit (Barbagallo Raceway).

Same, same. Should take less than an hour either way.
