Looks like there are other rotational shock absorbers like lever shock absorbers, rotary dampers, or rotary vane shock absorbers. Classic cars had these types of shock absorbers before the industry went with the telescopic shock absorber.

Might have to see if I can rob an old car of one of these types of shock absorbers...
