Struts, like the Tokico HP Series struts, combine the shock absorber and the stressed portion of the suspension. Struts allow automobile manufacturers to eliminate the upper control arm and upper ball joint, resulting in a much simpler and cost-effective design. The Tokico struts can be considered as a conventional suspension unit. Similar suspension units are commonly found on many pickup trucks, older automobiles, and some newer automobiles.

Conventional struts are the simplest and less expensive suspension units that can be used almost as effectively as the more modern suspension units. In most situations, conventional struts can still be relied upon to give you good handling and ride comfort. Struts use a large diameter piston rod, which is comparatively a bit larger and heavier than conventional shock absorbers. Most strut designs combine the lower spring perch or seat into the structure.
