A shock strut for a vehicle includes a housing with a through channel and a motor mount, and a motor fixed to the housing. The cylinder of a shock strut is configured to define a lead screw on its outer surface. The cylinder extends through the housing. The piston of the shock strut is attached to a ground engaging assembly. A gear nut rotatably mounted in the housing threadably engages the threaded cylinder, and is configured to be driven by the motor. The housing is attached to the vehicle, and the gear nut is controllably rotated to extend and retract the shock strut. A sensor provided on the assembly monitors the position of the shock strut. A torsion link assembly reacts rotational forces on the cylinder.
