Changing only one coil pack

My SL65 was diagnosed with the driver's side coil pack being bad. Warranty company will only cover that side.

Thoughts on only replacing one?

If they are paying, yes. The other one will often follow suit quickly.

The other side may have already been changed, check the part number. These coil packs normally go bad one at a time, I never heard they both go bad at the same time.
