The springs support the car's weight and allow the wheels to follow the surface of the road. The struts dampen out the oscillations (prevent bouncing) of the car's mass.

I agree 100%. Actually, I'll be that there's a lot of people on this board that obviously got the general idea of what each is, but can everyone explain their function?
Thanks for posting up that link though Travis, that's some good shit right there.

the shock absorbs the road conture. ie) bumps, dips, potholes etc
now like any spring once compressed it has a butt load of potential energy and it wants to decompress. If this happened with a spring like the one on cars, it was take the wheels off the ground and make it very hard to drive. The shocks will resist against the shock. most have a valve inside that restricts the flow of a liquid. this dampens the spring.
thats my best understanding of how it works
thanx for posting that man ! :super:Originally posted by pimp86LX
