Hard to imagine that on an Aveo forum there isn't a member that knows.
2009 is second gen, 2006 is first gen, so why would anyone here 'know' that parts from different generations are interchangeable? And I can never understand why people post questions like this anyway, because all you have to do is use the online parts sites to cross-check the part numbers. All it takes is a few minutes to get the answer yourself.
You're right, you can never understand but I'll try to explain realllly slowwwwly so even you can understand. That's... why... these... groups... exist. People that know, sharing info. Did that make your balls grow bigger? You're an idiot.Quote:

im not being abrasive nor trying to be... just helpful... that's only simple logic... maybe that person is unaware of cross reference of part numbers... I'm sorry If you feel I'm being mean... maybe you shud look in a mirror... not everyone had bad intentions
Viciousvic, My post (comment) was to those members whose choice of expression was, in my opinion, unbecoming to the Forum. It was NOT directed at you! You're good n your advice on x-ref is totally-100% helpful to anyone that needs the advice. I apologize if you thought otherwise. The matter is settled..off the table. Let us all continue to benefit n enjoy the AVEO Forum. RGR
Same dimensions KYB listed different one for a Pontiac G3 at a certain serial number I have had them on a 2008 before the front ones were to soft on compression and to much rebound had emailed KYB and was they were the same dimensions just diffrent valving were stiffer put the newer part number and were stiffer than the older number and more balanced front to rear so if you ever get KYB get the ones for 2010 2011 but if you want a smother ride Oespectrum as those were on the car I bought replaced them a 1 lost dampening after a while
