| FAQ - Answer 1 | Yes. Although shocks and struts perform a similar function, they vary greatly in their design.

A strut is also a crucial part of the vehicles steering system and greatly affects alignment angles. |

| FAQ - Answer 3 | Yes. It is important to choose the correct shock or strut for your vehicle model and year, as well as for the location in the vehicle. |
