Shocks and struts are often referred to interchangeably as they perform the same function, however, they differ in suspension system design and in fact are two distinct parts.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHOCKS AND STRUTS: A vehicle will have either a shock or a strut at each wheel, never both. ... Most cars made after 1995 have shock absorbers in the rear and strut assemblies in the front suspension.
The major difference between shocks and struts is that a strut 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.
What are shocks?
Shock absorbers are a key component of the suspension system. They control the impact and rebound movement of your vehicle’s springs and suspension, they ensure that the vehicle’s tires remain in contact with the road surface at all times, ultimately, they absorb energy. Without shocks, the wheels on the car or truck will actually bounce off of the road surface, and vibrate erratically down rough roads. The key components of the shock absorber are a piston, a coil, and hydraulic fluid.
What is a strut assembly? The strut assembly, an essential part of your car's suspension system, is attached to the front wheels and is used to absorb road shock, providing a smooth ride. Struts are the structural part of the suspension system and they are used on the front end of nearly every front-wheel –drive vehicle. A strut integrates numerous different suspension parts into one compact assembly. The latter include:
The Coil Spring
The Spring Seats
The Shock Absorbers
The Strut Bearing
The Steering Knuckle
The shock absorber portion of the strut is the most commonly serviced part of the strut assembly.
Honda recommends using genuine OEM parts, but we decided to go with KYB Excel-G premium aftermarket performance shock, based on the reviews we've read online. Genuine Honda Shock should be around $125 or so each, but KYB Excel-G (not the regular KYB) could be as cheap as $35 a piece depending on where you buy it from, for example amazon, ebay, or other online seller. Obviously, your local auto part stores such as AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, O'Reilly, Pep Boys etc also carry many different aftermarket products.
Genuine OEM Honda Part #: 52610 SNA 02
KYB Excel-G Aftermarket Part #: 343460 | Cheapest Price & Where To Buy From: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
For Genuine Honda Shock Mount Flange Bolt (12x65) 90181-SNA-000 search on eBay or buy directly from dealership.
