the strut is the whole housing with the shock built into it. Shocks are just the gas filled tube that absorbes the bumps.
Here is a pic from tirerack.com  As you see in struts it has a full housing that the coil spring sits on with a fixed shock inside it. For just the shock its just the long gas filled tube that absorbes all the bumps for you. --------------------  |
