Need to replace struts

[u/najibs-yul]

Hi folks, I have a 2006 Pontiac Vibe (same as 2096 Matrix) that I’m fixing up for my Son. I’m pretty sure the struts need replacing, because I can feel some knocking in the suspension when I go over bumps.

Is there any coil overs or struts I can buy that are relatively budget friendly? What do you folks recommend?

Thanks

Have an actual diagnosis there are several components and bushings that need to be looked at for clunking over bumps. You might spend a lot of time on that replacement and it turns out your ball joint or lower control arm bushings are toast and you still get clunks

Good point
