I drive a 2014 Corolla LE and recently had my right front shock strut and stabilizer bar link replaced under warranty(Defective part leaking) with OEM parts at 20k miles. Currently the car has 22k miles on it. Alignment has been done.
Question:
Since only the right strut has been replaced (Didn't think it was necessary to replace the unaffected left strut at 20k miles) would the right strut wear faster than the left strut until both have similar stiffness/wear?
I ask this because the left side strut is a tiny bit softer than the newly installed right strut. I am hoping over time, both struts will "equalize" to which ride and handling aren't affected.
Thank you!
