Matrix rear struts replaced

[barkingspider]

06 Toyota matrix, 205k miles on vehicle, unknown miles on the rear struts
Out: KYB
In: duralast complete struts from Autozone

The fronts were replaced a couple of months ago w Mando complete struts. Decided to do the rears since I had some time today and the rears were tired. The duralast were $128 ea w lifetime warranty. The install wasn’t bad at all, easy out, easy in. I just took my time. Took it for a test drive and rides good as new.

I envy how rust free your rear struts are! How does it ride with the Duralast? I have Monro Quick Struts on all 4 corners of my Corolla in that same Gen as your Matrix. They’re riding nicely with about 50k miles and counting.
