Thanks for the info. I makes much more sense now!

 

thankyou RED MX5 everything makes sense to me now without me having to ask a seemingly stupid question!

 

Asking questions isn't stupid. It's just one of the ways we learn.

Most struts have the coil over the shock, and that's what people are use to seeing, so when they see a coil over a shock it's not unusual for them to assume that it's a strut.

LOL, just don't do like the kid in Macon did the other day; Walked up, looked at my centrifigual blower, and said, "Damn, that's the biggest turbo I've ever seen."
