struts all the way around

Struts and Shocks are basically the same thing...And yes the car has 4. We run on a wishbone setup. Its similar to the mcpherson (sp?) setup but the bottom where it goes around the axle is different.

Struts all around... most peope use the terms interchangably on here anyway.

Our setup is similar to the MacPherson setup, as said above. The main difference is that the suspension geometry doesn't rely on the spring/strut combo at all. I learned this when I had the great idea to use adjustible pillow-ball mounts to change my camber... it won't work.

I thought we run just a typical double wishbone up front. Because our setup is not really like a MacPherson setup at all. Except the fact that the spring goes over the strut.

The term strut is used when the spring is sleeved over the shock. When the shocks are mounted separately from the springs then the term shock is used.

Except the fact that the spring goes over the strut.

Yes which makes it similar to the wishbone setup but not completely. And yes its a double wishbone i just say that for short.
