Which vehicles does this strut fit?

Is this a front or rear strut, and which side?
The catalog lists it as a front-left complete strut assembly.
Do I need to replace both struts at once?
This listing is for one assembly. For balanced ride and handling it's best practice to replace struts as a matched pair on the same axle rather than one side alone.
How do I know if my strut needs replacing?
Signs a strut may need replacing include excessive bouncing, body roll, uneven tire wear, sagging ride height, or fluid leaking from the strut body. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
