Danny's Auto Shock Absorber VS Struts

unlike the shock absorber, the struts has a reinforced body and stem;
strut already plays the role of shocks absorbers, so the shock absorber may well act as part of the strut, not the other way around
struts is subjected to multidirectional loads, while the shock absorber only damps vibrations and receive an impact along its axis;
the strut gives to the car greater reliability;
Strut and shock absorber have a different way of attachment. Shock absorbers are mounted through silent blocks without a swivel device and are equipped with a small diameter rod. Strut replaces the upper ball and rotator.
