Audi A4 Tdi Avant (B5) Shock change

[dsgrnmcm]

Hi team

The audi is making some dodgey sounds, and feels a bit stiff, on inspection the rear drivers side shock is leaking, so its dead!

Just to confirm:

1. I should change both rears?

2. Will i need a spring compressor?

3. Anybody done this before or any tips?
