When my RR strut failed it felt like the car was a male dog hiking its leg at a fire hydrant.

Of course my spring went "sproing" at the same time. Time to get one and/or the other replaced. Don't let the shop try to convince you that you need to replace the other side at the same time.

Also, if it *is* both, and you have the time and inclination, ask the shop to sell you a new strut with the spring already installed on it. That way you can do the remove/replace job as a DIY without having to also rent a spring compressor. The only labour they should charge you is the ~.25 hours for putting the spring on.
