I agree. The self-leveling rear "shock" is just a hydraulic cylinder and the damping comes from the restriction in the plumbing to the sphere. Nothing to wear out, really, except the spheres (rides hard as a rock) or the piston seals (leaks). On the other hand, conventional shocks have valves in the piston that adjust the fluid-flow restriction (typically different up and down) and those valves can get goofy.
