A strut is a structural component designed to resist longitudinal compression. Struts provide outwards-facing support in their lengthwise direction, which can be used to keep two other components separate, performing the opposite function of a tie.
Struts are the main component of a modern independent suspension system â they are what âsuspendâ the body and frame of your vehicle above the wheels. All the weight of your vehicle rests on your struts, which transfer the weight, via several other components, to the wheels. Struts have at least two components: a spring and a shock absorber â and many have a third: the swivel mount.
