Who Makes OEM Struts/Shocks for 03-08 Pontiac Vibe / Matrix?

Post by Reaccion »

Hi guys! I am planning on changing my front and rear shock absorbers. I was searching here in our forum and even online and I could fine an exact answer. I checked on the GM and Matrix websites and nothing. I was checking online and it seems that KYB, Monroe and ACDelco are the most popular ones. However, I would like to know who makes the OEM struts and shocks for the 03-08 Pontiac Vibe / Toyota Matrix? Any ideas? Thank you!!

I also have used KYB in other cars. I agree with you.
