Default Differencr between a Strut an Sway?

I understand the one goes on top and one goes underneath, but what are the handling advantages and disadvantages to them??

Is there a difference or since they both stiffen up the chassis they do the same thing??

Thanks

one siffens the chassis the stiffens the suspension. one affects body roll one affect body twist. if u want to handle well get a sway bar. if u want a more solid frame then get a strut brace.

a strut bar stiffens the chassis via the shock towers, a sway bar controls body roll, u should do a search first.
