A shock strut (100) for a vehicle includes a housing (130) with a through channel (131) and a motor mount (134), and a motor (150) fixed to the housing (130). The cylinder (106) of a shock strut (100) is configured to define a lead screw (107) on its outer surface. The cylinder (106) extends through the housing (130). The piston (104) of the shock strut (100) is attached to a ground engaging assembly (110). A gear nut (140) rotatably mounted in the housing (130) threadably engages the threaded cylinder (106), and is configured to be driven by the motor (150). The housing (130) is attached to the vehicle, and the gear nut (140) is controllably rotated to extend and retract the shock strut (100). A sensor (155) provided on the assembly monitors the position of the shock strut (100). A torsion link assembly (120) reacts rotational forces on the cylinder (106).
