I am in the process of replacing the upper and lower ball joints for my truck. When I was looking at the front suspension system for my truck, I noticed a shock absorber that is horizontally mounted on the control arms (I think).
Does anyone know what to call this part so I can get a replacement? Is it a shock absorber similar to the rear shock absorber? If pics are needed, I will get them. Thanks in advance.
