If you replace your shock absorber, because it works with the suspension to smooth your ride, you are basically replacing a single part. Replacing a strut is generally more difficult than replacing a shock absorber, because strut’s have large springs that are best replaced using a spring compressor. A strut is more complex it is part of the whole suspension system.
A shock absorber’s sole job is to keep a car from bouncing. For example, many people use the terms shocks and struts interchangeably, but while they are both critical parts of your car’s suspension system, they actually have different functions. Both are fairly easy for the at-home mechanic to replace, but it can sometimes be difficult to make sure you are selecting the correct replacement parts.
Does your car jolt or bounce you while you are driving? Does your front end dive when you brake or your rear end drop when you accelerate? Do you feel like your car is swaying when you turn? Have you noticed leaks in the housing or abnormal tire wear? If so, it might be time for new shocks and struts.
