Hello,
What is the current 2026 recommended replacement for rear struts (and perhaps also coils, given the high mileage) for my beloved car of past 12 years with 175,000 still good running miles 2009 Pontiac Vibe 1.8L FWD, VIN 5Y2SL67849Z410744. My driving style is gentle and I prefer a comfortable soft ride now in my 60s. Searching the archive has posts many years (decades) old and the parts world has likely changed since then. The OEM parts have been discontinued by GM and I'm unable to find any new old stock on the internet. How to proceed? Thanks, Kevin in VA
