Some people are confused by auto suspension terminology. Shocks, struts, and springs are all integral parts of the suspension system. Keeping your Nissan 240SX struts in good shape is essential if you want to maintain the fine handling characteristics that have made this car so popular.

Struts refer to the piston system that holds the weight of the car at a neutral point. The springs bear part of the weight of the car as the suspension compresses, and, along with the struts, pull the wheel back to the body of the car when passing over a hole or when the car gets light, as when you drive over the crest of a hill.

Visually, Nissan 240SX struts appear like a tower, and are sometimes referred to as strut towers. They are comprised of a metallic body that contains a piston. The piston rides on a series of elastomers and bushings, which provides the actual suspension action. At the top of the body is a rod, which is part of the piston. This bar is part of what ties the suspension to the car and, along with the spring, bears the weight.
