generally you should replace in pairs just to keep the wear even but if cash is tight you can get away with replacing just the one. Welcome to RF!

appreciate the help, another question, i am changing the rear axle oil, i am planning on using Lucas W85 90 gear oil with 4 oz of friction modifier, what is your opinion on the type of gear oil to use

I guess what is the spec on your rear end? Im guessing its Limited Slip. I always use Lucas products and have no complaints. Only thing Id do different would be spring for a synthetic oil next time.
