Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The MacPherson strut assembly includes a shock absorber, a spring, and an upper steering pivot but does not include a ball joint as an integral part of the assembly. The ball joint is part of the suspension system but is not considered a component of the MacPherson strut itself.
