?what? Are you for real. I have a 95 civic with struts and springs. And quess what I have an upper control arm. Would you care to explain that.
Did you not read!!@!@!@ You car has SHOCKS! Stop spreading misinformation.
It is not a strut unless it helps locates the suspension, if you have an upper control arm, then you car has shocks, because the shocks does play a part in camber or caster adjustment, so it is not helping "locate" the suspension. Just because the spring is over the shock does not make it a strut it s just a coil-over shock.
