	Coil Springs/ work by resisting their extension (stretching) or compression, and thereby absorbing mechanical energy, which helps to make a smoother ride Struts (Front & Rear) A strut assembly consists of a specialized shock absorber, a coil spring, and an upper damper unit. Like shock absorbers, struts support and stabilize a vehicle's ride.	All-Data
