Shocks v. struts?
What is the difference between shocks and struts? I plan on replacing the shocks and struts on the wife's tribute and found the struts are twice the price of the shocks.
Functionally is there a difference?
Do the struts last longer last longer?
I've replaced lots of shocks but never a strut. I read somewhere that's it's a good idea to have the alignment done after replacing struts. I've been unable to find a manual for her 2003 so I haven't been able to read up on the replacement process and what all is involved.
Thanks,
Tim

. Now I have a better understanding of why I'll be spending more money.
