Light Vehicle FAQ

What’s the difference between a shock and strut?

Shocks and struts perform a similar function but vary greatly in their design. Struts are an integral part of a vehicle’s suspension system, providing structural support for the vehicle and, as such, are a safety subsystem. Shocks work separately from any structural function, simply absorbing and damping the bumps from the road.
