Oil on the strut body, a bouncy ride or a clunk over bumps can mean wear. These signs alone do not prove the strut is the problem; a worn sway bar link can make the same clunk. This listing is one strut for the front left; the front right is a separate part, and both sides are normally replaced together. Each side of the front axle takes one strut.
