Strut Assembly

Category: automotive

A suspension component that combines a shock absorber with a coil spring.

Struts are the "cushion." They support the weight of the car and absorb the impact of bumps. When they go bad, you feel every pothole, and the car will "bounce" excessively after a bump.

Common Examples

• The car failed the bounce test, confirming that the front strut assembly had lost its ability to dampen road shocks.
• We recommend replacing the strut assembly in pairs to maintain balanced suspension geometry and safe, predictable handling.
