Default leaking strut

front passenger side is leaking..
Bone stock VX and plan to keep it that way.

When replacing struts do you do both sides or just the bad one?
Also would this leaking strut do anything to the feel of turning the car to the left and having the steering wheel return to middle after the turn is completed? Left seems slower to return to middle then when turning the car to the right.

yes it is good to replace them in pairs, like shoklid said if one went the other is more than likely close behind.

thanks, that's what I am thinking also.. Just didn't see any documentation of doing both.
