    Coil goes over the spring? You sound like a real winner.

    OK, no struts on truck because UCAs, yep. Coilovers, coil over spring, whichever. Yet, my car that has 4 struts because no UCAs, top of "strut" is mounted to body. Yep. Those are also ref'd to as coilovers in many places, especially when talking about adjustable ones. I think the water is muddier than people are attempting to make it out to be. But I do agree that there are no "struts" on my truck. I will buy that no UCA = strut & with UCA = coil on spring. How many nits have been picked so far?

    The coil doesn't go over the spring. The coil IS the spring. The coil goes over the shock.

    Of course there's more weird shit like the Trailmasters 6" lift for 1st gen Tacomas, which removed the UCA and turned the suspension into a Macpherson strut arrangement, while keeping the stock coilover...

    You went on a rant about picking nits and made an obvious mistake. I basically just did to you what you attempted to do to the entire thread. I get it- my comment wasn't necessary, but neither was yours. Lesson- if ur gonna be a smart ass don't make yourself an easy target.

    How's the weather up there on your soapbox?

    Seriously, the thread already got cleaned up once and yet you continue to propagate the "BS."
