my understanding was that struts typically are on the front of a vehicle while
shocks are on the back. yes there should be a difference, far more weight in
the front of a sable than the back, even with the trunk loaded. my guess is that
they are very different parts.
front struts go behind the wheels and in the front and rear shocks go in the back
The front struts on a Mercury Sable are replaced by jacking up the vehicle, removing the wheels, and supporting the vehicle on jack stands. The retaining bolts can then be removed, the struts taken out, and new struts put in place.
Yes. All cars have struts in the front and shocks in the rear. However, it does not have McPherson struts
Struts on the front , but motorcraft.com lists shocks and struts for the back ( I'm confused ! )
The super beetle has a different front end, having Macpherson struts. The apron, fenders and hood are styled different. The standard beetle has the torsion bar front end.
Struts.
Struts in the front and rear.
The contour had MacPherson struts in the front.
the major difference is all of the moving parts in the front that turn the wheels. the back is usually just shocks or struts and springs, whereas the front has tie rods, control arms, ball joints, etc. that move with the steering wheel as well.
the club coupe has two bucket seats in the front and a back seat. the rest have a bench seat.
All Toyota Camry's have struts in the front. This is also accompanied with strut mounts and bearings that are located between the mount & strut. I highly recommend replacing the mounts & strut bearings with the struts. My experience has shown that the mounts fail before the strut.
Yes the 05 and up Mustangs have front struts
