THE DEFINITION AS EXPLAINED BY BRUCE GRIGGS
A Strut is a structural suspension component that integrates a damper and provides the upper steering and suspension pivot in MacPherson strut suspension designs. Unlike a conventional shock absorber, a strut bears suspension loads as a structural member. Performance struts feature adjustable damping, lighter weight, and tighter manufacturing tolerances than stock units. Griggs Racing offers strut kits and components for strut-geometry Mustang applications.
