Shocks Or Struts

[prento]

Quick question to anyone who can help.

I have a 1999 Toyota Altezza..manual in complete Jap and am trying to figure out whether the car uses SHOCKS or STRUTS. I'm trying to get my brother to send me the parts since they need changing but am not sure what the car uses.

No I have not gone under to see nor do I have time. Yes I'm sure I own the car but I don't know jack about cars except how to keep clean and drive.

He ships in two days and have no time to go visit a mechanic. Parts are expensive around my part.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

The answer to your question is both really.

Depends what you mean by shox + struts.

Yes of course they have shox, would be a bouncy ride if they didn't.

Yes i guess they are like struts - ie. spring mounted over the shock body (coilover).

The term struts and shocks are often used interchangeable.

BTW if you need new ones, just make sure that the fit the Altezza or IS200, you can check with the parts supplier.
