A suspension strut assembly (10) comprising a strut cylinder (100) that is hollow and defines a chamber (110) and has a first free end (12). A strut cylinder piston (200) is located in, and operable to move along, the strut cylinder chamber (110) to define a first strut cylinder sub-chamber region (112) on one side of the strut cylinder piston (200) and a second strut cylinder sub-chamber region (114) on the other side of the strut cylinder piston (200). A suspension rod (300) extends from the strut cylinder piston (200) inside the second strut cylinder sub-chamber region (114), through an aperture (116) in the strut cylinder (100), to a second free end (14) outside of the strut cylinder chamber (110). The first strut cylinder sub-chamber region (112) is configured to be in fluid communication with a first working fluid circuit (1000) via a first flow port (120). The second strut cylinder sub-chamber region (114) is configured to be in fluid communication with a second working fluid circuit (2000) via a second flow port (122). The suspension strut assembly (10) being operable to vary the distance between the first free end (12) and the second free end (14) of the suspension strut assembly (10) by the first flow port (120) being operable to control the flow of the first working fluid (400) between the first working fluid circuit (1000) and the first strut cylinder sub-chamber region (112); and by the second flow port (122) being operable to control the flow of the second working fluid (402) between the second working fluid circuit (2000) and the second strut cylinder sub-chamber region (114).
