If you were thinking about buying a brand new shock for just that one side, its not a good idea.

All four corners are likely near equally worn, so they will soon be dead too. Plus the handling would be wonky with one new shock and the rest old.

My advice is:

Either buy all four new

Or buy all four low mileage used

Or buy aftermarket suspension. Quality coilovers meant for street use. Bilstein, Koni, etc.
