The PRT front shock absorber set (part numbers 339130 & 339131) is a direct-fit, gas-charged twin-tube assembly crafted for the Toyota Matrix (2009–2013) and select Corolla/Fielder models. Engineered with precise compression and rebound valving tailored to the vehicle, these shocks restore the original ride comfort and handling dynamics. Constructed with seamless steel bodies, corrosion-resistant finishes, and factory-grade seals, they aim to deliver consistent damping performance and smooth steering response typical of new vehicles.

While these PRT shocks offer a budget-friendly alternative and easily install with a bolt-on setup, some mechanics and vehicle owners note longevity concerns with certain PRT assemblies on comparable platforms—such as premature strut-mount issues after ~50,000 miles—so upfront inspection of mounting components is prudent. Overall, they provide a cost-effective solution for refreshing aging suspension, offering improved ride control and comfort, provided you address any worn mounts during replacement.
