Shock Absorbers in Europe?

Hello guys!

I'm owner of an HHR LT, 2008 year and my original shock absorbers need to be changed because started to leak.
Because I'm living in Greece, I contacted local dealer of Chevrolet in Athens, and they told me that the shock absorbers will cost me around 600 and 700 euros rear and front, and the required parts are unavailable in Greece nor in warehouse in Netherlands or Germany.

Can I found some non-genuine compatible shock absorbers in Europe If I will have exact part number, maybe from another model? Or I need to order original one in US?

Many thanks for any help.

Welcome to the site, you can order OEM shocks and struts or KYB’s , try EBay or Rockauto

They might ship to Greece, I’m not sure.

Ali Baba probably would work if eBay doesn't.

The rear shocks are fairly standard Monroe #5779, KYB #349043.

Fronts shock only interchange part #'s Left 339084 Right 339085
complete strut assemblies Monroe #'s 172179L 172179R

Thank you for your replies!

I found at RockAuto the Monroe suspension kit, which together with delivery charges will cost me around 315 euros. Only thing, I don't know if I will need to pay also at the customs.
Anyway, the price seems to be good, and if I will not found somewhere here in Europe, I will order from RockAuto.
