      Need Struts and Shocks

      Got a 06 Aveo LS.
      Just got new tires yesterday and the shop told me both front struts were shot. I believe them. Kinda sounds funny up front when hitting bumps and this already confimed my suspicions.
      But I`m unsure what strut/shock combo will work.
      I went to O`Reillys the other day and they need to e-mail a company just to see if they would work with my car. Think I will go back and have them do this for me to compare prices.
      But I see an ebay add which says for 04,05 and 06 Aveo`s. The seller says its up to me to buy the correct strut/shock combo, meaning if I buy these and they dont work for my car, Im SOL.
      There is a link to click on that reguards fitment of the strut/shocks, but I am unsure even by looking at that wheather it will work or not.
      Anyone else familiar with this strut/shock combo to know if it would work on my Aveo?
      And are these a good price?

      all aveos have the same struts. those are ok for a little more than oem replacement. if it says fits aveo in that case then it fits your car, the price isn't bad either. but those are the only real non oem basic struts available.
