Though even some service managers will call them struts, they're not.
There are so many cars now which use the execrable MacPherson strut that
anything with a concentric spring/shock is called a strut. Strictly
speaking a "strut" is a combination damper (shock absorber) and structural
part of the suspension... which is not the case in the '93 Accord's double
wishbone suspension.
