Mine was also on the driverside too. The shock is like $800 and my friend hooked me up on the labor ($50). Replacing it is very easy so you shouldn't have to payuch in labor. Good luck.

I personally like having the air ride. It's like 3 cars in one. Mine has been great since I replaced the driverside.
