KYB Suspension Strut P/N:333491
Keep the back end of your 2003-2006 Pontiac Vibe or 2003-2006 Toyota Matrix planted with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 344613, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube gas strut for the REAR position. Part of KYB's Excel-G line, it is built on the same assembly lines and with the same OE-quality components KYB supplies to new-vehicle manufacturers, earning the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification — calibrated to help restore the vehicle's original designed control and handling, not to change it.
Made in USA. To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5382), and you can protect the strut from dirt, debris, and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108).
