the weight being thrown around
the shocks do take weight being added threw a turn, as do the springs which is why they are all a part of the same cluster and compress together
if your shocks are blown your ride is horrible and you hear loud slams when you hit pot holes or go over speed bumps if it doesn't support any weight why would that happen?

the shocks are NOT the same part of the "cluster" in the rear, as you say.

have you ever pushed on a shock? it resists your pressure. but it won't support weight.

if i carry a metal bucket full of bolts in the back of my car, and drive over bumps, it makes a loud slamming noise too.. does that mean that the bucket of bolts is supporting the weight of my car?

Shocks do transmit force. This will affect frame or strut rigidity.

yes, they do transmit FORCE. but in the case of the yaris, they transmit force in one direction. STRAIGHT UP. so attaching anything to the shock that doesn't resist this STRAIGHT UP FORCE (not weight) is useless, and should be considered a "looks-only" mod

guys.. just accept the fact that your spaghetti bar is mostly for looks. .
