    I doubt there's a standard shock to replace those donut looking things. I've never seen one break. With suspension parts you should always replace both sides to keep them equal. Try a salvage yard to save bucks. Keep them original, or after-market replacement because they are important. They prevent body roll and increase stability when cornering. They also help distribute uneven loads. There's a reason why engineers came up with this and don't use it now. They are easy to replace. Hope this was helpful.
