    You’d still need some kind of restoring force. Visibly, some cars use metal springs for at least part of that.

      The fluid pushes on a reservoir of nitrogen that keeps the plane from bottoming out. It is a progressive pressure system, so it gets harder to move the more force is applied.

        Ah! Yes, you didn’t mention the pneumatic component. I thought you just meant between two bodies of oil, which would only provide damping and some added moment.
