Shocks or Struts? HELP
You car does not have struts. It has a coil-over damper up front and separate spring/damper in the rear. It is so sad that people can't get this through their heads and parts houses had to adopt "strut" for any style front suspension.

THIS is what I was looking for when I asked if we have shocks or struts. I tried googling it multiple times and nothing came up. Thank you for clearing it up.

So here’s how 3/4 endlinks look out of the package. They were really bent inward and when I bent them back to straight the boot didn’t really come with it. There’s a gap.
Edit: should i make a return or is this normal? Doesn’t look to me like it’s torn but in my mind it looks like grease will escape.

Sound like this??
Just had my fronts done , I’m thinking I might need bushings or a new strut tower
So ever since I’ve bought my car, I’ve noticed there’s a clunking noise. I’ll start off by saying it’s a 2012 G37X Sedan. I’ve replaced both Lower Control Arms, Inner and Outer Tie Rods, CV axles, and wheel hub assemblies. (All front end) and the clunking still resides! My next guess is the shocks/struts, but I can only find Strut assembly’s online. Do we not have shocks? I’m looking at getting the pre-assembled strut tower from 1aAuto. Comes with spring, strut mount, and the strut itself. Also, when I go over bumps my steering wheel shakes left and right. (Like it’s turning) so that’s why I think my struts/shocks are bad.
