Replace the one and then have it aligned. Probably, unless the tire grinch gets you, run about $150.

Yes I would change them both out, here is how the job is done which will cost about $450.00 to have it done. Here is how to do the job yourself if you want to save some money.

Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car.
