I agree that section was written in poor English, so I cut it down. and eliminated that statement. while accurate, it's meaningless without a diagram. but a quick and easy example of a NON coil over Strut is the 79-93 mustang. you could use a eye to pin shock absorber and the inboard spring. and the strut would just be a locating and alignment component. Just Ignore that one for now. it's not used often enough to leave in.
