180k Miles 04 Coupe - Shocks, Struts, Springs question.
seI'm assuming you didn't read the link that I posted, so ill quote it.
"The major difference between shocks and struts is that astrut is a structural part of the vehicles suspension system where a shock is not. A strut is also crucial part of the vehicles steering system and greatly affects alignment angles. Camber and caster angles are usually adjusted right on the strut itself. A strut is also a pivot point for the vehicles steering system and contains a coil spring. Because of this an alignment is always needed when replacing a strut. This is also the reason that struts are typically more expensive than shocks."
Our shocks are merely there to dampen. They are not a critical part of the steering system, nor do they affect camber and caster. Furthermore we have a 4 wheel independent multi-link suspension. Multi-link suspensions use shocks,, and double wishbone suspensions use struts. It doesn't matter what it looks like.

I'm just going to off of what manufacturers call their own product.
In this case for G35 they call it a strut.
