MacPherson strut
A MacPherson strut is a type of car suspension component that combines a shock absorber and a coil spring into a single, compact unit. It connects the wheel hub to the vehicle chassis, helping to absorb bumps and maintain stability during driving. Its simple design reduces weight and space, making it common in modern cars. The strut not only supports the weight of the vehicle but also plays a key role in steering and handling, ensuring a smoother ride and better control.
