What Do Shocks and Struts Do for the Suspension?

Shocks and struts are essential components of a vehicle’s suspension system. They serve a wide range of functions, ensuring a smooth and stable ride. However, they differ in design and functionality.

1. Shocks (Shock Absorbers)

   Shocks, also known as shock absorbers, control and dampen the vibrations of the vehicle’s springs. When the wheels encounter road potholes and irregularities, shocks absorb and distribute the kinetic energy, which stabilizes the vehicle and prevents excessive bouncing.

2. Struts

   Struts are a crucial structural part of the suspension system because they integrate the functions of a shock absorber and other suspension parts. They are enclosed in a structure that consists of a coil spring, a mount, and numerous bushings. They provide a mounting point for the wheel hub assembly as well as assist with supporting the vehicle's weight, including the engine.
