The same size that's there now. You or your mechanic should be able the read the part number on the current shock. However, I strongly recommend replacing both right and left shocks at the same time. Otherwise you'll have an imbalance that's likely to adversely affect handling... and from a practical standpoint, if the right shock is dead, the left one will probably fail within the next six months to a year, so you might as well get it replaced now. When it comes to suspension repairs, it doesn't pay to do things by halves.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
