An independent element of the car's front suspension is the strut. It provides limited vertical movement of the wheel. The strut holds the wheels in place, preventing them from rolling to the sides. Depending on the design features, the struts are divided into types, which depend on the number of attachment points. They are also classified according to the direction of movement of the vehicle. Mainly, A-shaped products are used in pendants. They are called triangular levers. Also use H-shaped and straight product options. They provide common jumpers.
