Fits: 2007-2009 Kia Spectra and other vehicles

Fluid on the strut body, a bouncy or nose-diving ride, or a clunk over bumps can mean the strut is worn, though a worn strut mount or a tire problem can be behind the same signs.

Fits

It fits the 2007-2009 Kia Spectra and the 2008-2009 Kia Spectra5, and each takes one on the rear left. This listing is one strut; the rear right is a separate part, and both sides are normally replaced together.
