Odds are you'll have to buy them both as a set. Prices vary. I got mine for $40, locally through a guy parting out an '89. I've seen em go for $175 + shipping on ebay. PM user trwhouse (or something like that), he's got a set for sale for $75... they have a nick in them that makes the seal leak, but if you replace it once a year, it's not a problem (Seals are about $15 for a set of two from ebay, and about an hour to replace (not the first time though, that took like 3 hours))

I'm sure it was something you did.   :icon_mrgreen:
