THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHOCKS AND STRUTS: A vehicle will have either a shock or a strut at each wheel, never both. ... Most cars made after 1995 have shock absorbers in the rear and strut assemblies in the front suspension. The major difference between shocks and struts is that a strut is a structural part of the vehicles suspension system where a shock is not. A strut is also crucial part of the vehicles steering system and greatly affects alignment angles. What are shocks? Shock absorbers are a key component of the suspension system. They control the impact and rebound movement of your vehicle’s springs and suspension, they ensure that the vehicle’s tires remain in contact with the road surface at all times, ultimately, they absorb energy. Without shocks, the wheels on the car or truck will actually bounce off of the road surface, and vibrate erratically down rough roads. The key components of the shock absorber are a piston, a coil, and hydraulic fluid. What is a strut assembly? The strut assembly, an essential part of your car's suspension system, is attached to the front wheels and is used to absorb road shock, providing a smooth ride. Struts are the structural part of the suspension system and they are used on the front end of nearly every front-wheel –drive vehicle. A strut integrates numerous different suspension parts into one compact assembly. The latter include: The Coil Spring The Spring Seats The Shock Absorbers The Strut Bearing The Steering Knuckle The shock absorber portion of the strut is the most commonly serviced part of the strut assembly. The coil spring can support the weight of the vehicle and adjust to road irregularities like bumps, hills and valleys. Specifically, the struts connect the upper bearing to the lower ball joint so that the entire assembly can pivot when the vehicle is turned in any direction. Struts serve multiple purpose : the internal shock absorber will dampen the movement of the spring as it compresses and rebounds itself while the vehicle is travelling and with its spring it will support the weight of the vehicle while it is moving so that it can adapt to road irregularities In sum, while the shocks simply absorb impact, the struts also function to support and control the vehicle in motion. When to replace them? Visual signs such as : Noticeable fluid leak Shocks and/or struts look dented or damaged Tires show unusual wear patterns Vehicle handling: If you experience a bumpy or shaky ride, have poor steering response, stiffness or noise when steering or instability when braking. Mileage: At 50k miles, they may be worn to the point of needing replacing (depending on vehicle and driving conditions). In addition, worn shocks and/or struts can accelerate the wear of your tires and suspension parts … the ball joints, steering linkage, springs and C.V. joints.
