Question:

If my car has struts can I change to shocks?

If my car has struts can I change to shocks?

Answer:

No because the strut is an integral structural part of the suspension. You could add shocks to a strut system, but you can not replace struts with shocks.
You can change the shocks on the back, unless it has struts all the way around, because you can't buy just the shocks, you have to buy the whole strut.
No. Struts are the design of the suspension system. They are supporting the weight of the car. Shock absorbers are not a substitute.
