Struts And Shocks?
Can someone explain to me the difference between shocks and struts? It appears to me that the BMW's have shocks in the back and struts in the front?
 What's the difference? I know I am a total noob, please bear with me..

Springs can easily last upwards of 200k miles and perhaps beyond. The killer of springs in some parts of the country is often rust. The bottom portions of them can become corroded and actually break.

Check my site for pricing on Bilstein suspension products for your car. Bilstein offers a lifetime warranty to the purchaser so while they are a bit more than budget brands you get a great product that you will have as long as you own the car.
