A vehicle's ability to stay attached to the road while in motion is called traction, and slippage mitigation is the job of the suspension system. It also heavily influences the way the steering wheel feels in your hands.
In order to even out the weight that gets thrown around when driving, the suspension distributes the force according to braking and acceleration action. Essentially, there's independent action in the front and the rear - the wishbone linkage in the front controls alignment and softens the shocks associated with road bumps. Technology in the rear consists of shock absorbers and springs.
The strut assembly upholds the suspension systems power by dampening shocks, thus making the ride more comfortable overall. Altogether, the strut is made up a coil spring, strut cartridge, and the strut housing.
