a car can potentially have both shocks and struts. I don't know how common this is, but a car could have shocks in the front and struts in the back or vice versa. that is, depending on the combination, a car could have both, but I have never seen this.
It could.
Shocks and struts are an important part of a car's suspension system. Both shocks and struts are used to keep a vehicle from bouncing when it is being driven. Shocks are less expensive to replace then struts.
struts
Many people confuse car struts and car shocks. While car shocks prevent passengers from feeling the jostle of a drive, car struts support the physical weight of the car.
Cars would use shocks or struts in front but not both.
Both shocks on the front, struts on the back depending on the make it might have it both ways!
