There is also a small nuance in replacing rear shock absorbers, and it lies in the fact that they need to be changed in pairs, that is, two at once. Why do this you ask? The thing is that the characteristics of one new shock absorber may differ significantly from the second, even if the second shock absorber is fully operational!

Hello Damir! Gas shock absorbers are essentially rigid, so if you operate the car where there are few bumps and irregularities, then you can opt for them. But there is one But! As a rule, on older cars the body is weaker, I think you’ve heard the expression “Metal Fatigue”, so the old struts on older cars with such shock absorbers will quickly become unusable. But conventional hydraulic ones are softer, and therefore the car will roll more when cornering and sag more when overloaded. Hydraulic shock absorbers are also susceptible to temperature changes and are less reliable in themselves, but they are soft and therefore it is more preferable to use them on older cars!
