Shocks or struts

Do a 2000 Tacoma 4 x 4 have shocks all around or struts in the front?

The reason I ask is I tried to order a set of ProComps ES9000s and I was told that the front are struts but to me they look like every other shock I have ever had in my life.

 

they are indeed struts in the front and shocks in the back.

 

Damn, don't look like any of the struts in any of my VWs.

Thanks.

 

Weird, I just looked in my Haynes manual and they call them shocks, sounds like a marketing scam to me.

The company I wanted to order from wanted $40 more for the fronts.

 

They are most definately struts.

 

Tacoma Struts (and rear shackles):





And this is SHOCK!

 

I definitely put shocks in the front and back of my 99 taco 4x4.

I like communicating with people from the past; it's like a time machine! 88 miles per hour Marty!

 

You also have a truck, struts and shocks are going to be designed for heavier duty than a VW
