The original 1200 strut is a rebuildable oil filled tube with shock valving and seals.
Struts inserts are an alternative - you can buy a sealed shock absorber-like cartridge that goes into the strut housing.
A McPherson strut is a combination shock absorber intregrated with spring unit -- it's a structural piece, holding the car up and locating the suspension. This is as opposed to shock absorbers, which if removed won't affect ride height or cause the axles to fall off. Not to say you should remove the rear shocks, but they only control bounding.
