Snapped one of the bastards whilst doing them up, so now one side has 2 and the other has 3. Is it ok to drive like this or do i need to get one side changed (or is it best to change both).

if i do need a new one, whered best to get one?

Itll be ok to drive if you take it easy, wouldnt do any hard driving on it though.

Certainly replace the knackered one, if the other one is fine and didnt look worn or damaged if/when you had your suspension removed then a 2nd hand replacement would be sufficient.

Ive got a spare one or pair if you want them

Same happend to me mate when i was taking my strut brace off...what is needed? The whole strut or just the top bit??

Euro car parts is the place to go. £32.07 for 2 top mounts and 2 bearings to do both sides, OE quality too. You might need to order them in though as when I went to get some they said they would be in the next morning.
