There is no way that struts after 100k miles hold OK. They might not leaking, they may seem to be fine, but the dumping forces are nowhere close to specs.

I am afraid that by replacing the one axle only, it will disturb the balance of the car.

I feel you, man, spending tons of money on a car and not to expect to recoup it is painful.
I am in the same boat.
I just got 2003 Base with 110k miles. I thought clunks are sway bar links. Yes, they were shot, but the clunks are from the suspension.

Overall, after a few hours of searching, looking for deals and so on - I obtained all pieces of the suspension (struts, arms, mounts, links...) for about 1'800 using KONI reds.

Yes, about 1'200 more than I expected, but at least I will be able to feel safe in the car.
