I like the idea of replacing old parts when you're already there. Gives me peace of mind.

may as well while the car is not drivable I tend to do things in pairs only cause it bugs me when one thing has more/less wear then it's counter part.

Whenever possible I try to do things in pairs and/or sets as "B Swapped93" stated. Easier to keep track/remember things for wear and tear items.

what's the mileage of the car?

if you believe both are original, and the mileage is over 200k then go ahead and do both.

however, these things don't always wear evenly side to side. not the way that tires or brakes wear. one side may be terrible while the other could go another 100k without trouble.
