Time to replace rear hatch struts.

Post by Cougar Vibe »

Conked my head on the rear hatch...finally got mad enough to fix the problem (it's been sagging for about a year). Anyway, started to research prices/vendors online and have two questions:1) Is the Matrix strut the same as the Vibe; &2) Are both struts the same or is their a right and left?Thanks,C_V

Okay, never mind the first question...they are different.So, has anybody these for a decent price? Looks like RockAuto has a couple of options ~$19, which is the best I can find.

That's not a bad price. I got mine on E-bay a few years ago and I think they were around that price, maybe a little more.
