An aircraft landing gear shock absorber strut (10) including: an outer cylinder (11) defining a bore; a sliding tube (1) sliding coupled to the outer cylinder to permit the shock absorber strut to extend and compress and having a piston at one end mounted within the bore; one of the outer cylinder and the sliding tube being formed from a titanium part and being arranged to define a bearing counter-face (1a, 11a); and a non-metallic bearing (4, 12) arranged to run against the titanium counter-face, wherein the bearing counter-face is defined by a layer of the titanium part which has received a hardening surface modification distinct from a heat treatment such that the bearing counter-face is relatively hard in comparison to the titanium material behind the counter-face.
