Ok i am getting confused as to what struts are, i've searched but couldn't see what they were talking about cuz the links to the pics were dead...so this is what i found.

our cars have struts...are they all the way around??

Is this a Strut

So would it be correct to say that a strut is a combination of a Shock and Springs. Isn't that the same thing as a Coilover expect that its adjustable? If i got coilovers do i still need shocks?? Can i just buy Springs and Shocks and be done with it or do i need something else to hold the shock to the springs??

sorry for the dumb question, but i need to know.

Thanks

So the Strut is comprised of a Shock and the assemble that holds the Spring together?? So if i buy shocks, i can use the stock strut assemble and just insert the shock??
