Hey guys, i am a bit of a newb and i was wondering the difference between springs, shocks, and struts. Thx for the information guys

McPherson Struts are an integral part of the front and/or rear suspension of the vehicle. The strut assembly provides the upper suspension and wheel turning support. It is an integral part of the suspension geometry and directly affects the vehicle tracking.

Shock absorbers are installed inside or near the coil spring, leaf spring or torsion bar. They are not an integral part of the suspension system and as such do not affect vehicle alignment. Also, if broken will not keep the vehicle from being driven.

 

cool, i understand now, thx for the information bro!
