Shock Absorbers

Post by umcamara »

I've never claimed to be a supsension expert, but I thought a vehicle used either shocks or struts, one or the other. Why then does Monroe make these shock absorbers for the MX-3?

Monroe shocks

Is there an option to use shocks? What's better? :?

When I was deciding what to buy for struts I looked at a set of Monroe stock replacements at the local Partsource and they said SensiTrac on them but they were struts.

I think they're just showing the standard Monroe parts image on that page, but you'd get an MX3 strut if you ordered them.
