Suspension Strut
A structural component combining a shock absorber and coil spring.
The strut supports the vehicle's weight and absorbs road impacts while maintaining wheel alignment. It integrates damping and spring functions in one assembly. Worn struts cause nose-diving, uneven tire wear, and reduced handling stability. Replacement improves ride comfort and control. Technicians recommend replacing struts in pairs to maintain balanced performance. Quality suspension components are vital for vehicle safety and passenger comfort.
