Chapman strut
A Chapman strut is an automobile suspension device. Being a strut, it is designed to act as both a shock absorber (with an integrated coil spring) and a wheel location device. That is, it is designed to resist lateral forces. Chapman struts are the term for such a device when used on rear wheels, while the very similar MacPherson strut is used in front. (See MacPherson strut for more information.)
