KYB Suspension Strut P/N:339236
KYB 344612 rear suspension strut assembly for the 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla and other vehicles damps spring movement at the rear wheels. This KYB Excel-G strut assembly is calibrated to restore original performance, not change it.
Fluid on the strut body, a bouncy ride over bumps or uneven rear tire wear can mean a strut is worn. These signs alone do not prove the strut is the problem, since worn tires can give a similar bumpy feel. The rear axle takes one strut on each side.
As a strut replacement for the 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla, it also fits the 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix and the 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe. This listing is one strut for the rear axle, and the strut on the other side of that axle is normally replaced at the same time.

Is this KYB suspension strut assembly right for the 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe?
Yes. KYB 344612 rear suspension strut assembly fits the 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe, and it also fits the 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix.
Is this KYB strut assembly nitrogen gas-charged or oil-only?

Look at the strut body for an oily film or wet streaks near the seal while the car is parked and the engine is off. A shop can test damping if the ride feels bouncy.
