Does my model have shocks or struts? I failed DC inspection due to "front struts leaking fluid" and a note of failure for shocks as a safety visual. During an estimate, one mechanic says I don't have shocks only struts, but the mechanic doing the estimate wrote in front struts and rear shocks to be fixed. The first guy looked again after the written estimate and said no you have struts, why did he write in shocks? How can I find this out?
