If at times you are not bothered much by the rough and bumpy road that you are taking then it is because of the portion of a vehicle called suspension that connects the wheels to the metal skeletal structure called frame to which a vehicle’s body, engine, drivetrain and suspension components such as springs and shocks are being attached. A suspension is accountable for making sure that the way a vehicle feels as it travels over the road is comfortable and that the pounding of the automobile against the road when taking on a rugged road is minimized. A good quality suspension provides a pillow-soft ride, as if you are not on the road but is just on a couch.

The strut as one of the components of the suspension system, works just like the shock absorber only that it is being utilized with a different type of front suspension. It is also used to serve as passive braces to reinforce the chassis and the body or the active components of the suspension. Struts like the Chevrolet strut principally deals with the shock absorption function with the ability to support sideways loads that is not included in the axis of compression. It is in a way similar to a sliding pillar suspension because it can do away with the need for an upper suspension arm. The more rugged the strut would be with mounting points near its middle, the greater it can hold loads.

Basically, there are two kinds of strut to which are the MacPherson strut and the Chapman strut. The MacPherson strut is the most used kind of car suspension in modern vehicles as it can be used both for the front and rear suspensions but typically used in the front. This strut provides a steering pivot and at the same time a suspension mounting for the wheel, while the Chapman strut is a strut of the same designed but is being used in the rear suspension.
