#10593, "RE: Whats the difference between shocks and struts?" In response to In response to 1
Ehhh...we have struts.
Struts are used in cars that dont have much space underneath and so they put the spring around the shock, making it a strut. Shocks usually have springs seperated from the shocks because there is enough room to put the shock elsewhere where it is more efficient.
Shocks cost less because you don't have to remove the spring to get there and also there are no spring perches on shocks etc...
