Default New guy looking for advice

.
Hi first post here.

I'm looking for some advice on a problem I've got.

I've a bog standard, 2001 Impreza, 1.6 TS, Wagon. Chassis GG5

It's just failed on rear nearside ( passenger ) shock absorber.

With it being an older car, I don't really want to spend too much if I can get away with it.

Does anyone know if shocks off another model will fit ?

If so, I might be able to get one from a breakers yard.

If not...anyone recommend a good supplier.

Cheapest I've had from local dealers is £135

Tried Ebay and couldn't see anything on there, apart from one, but seller says won't fit mine.

Appreciate any help.

Cheers for that Blue.

If I end having to pay that amount of dosh, I may as well pay a little extra and get the pair.

Thanks for the link.
