For illustration purposes, this is what a Nivomat shock looks like. Notice the rubber on one end of it.

An ordinary shock (not nivomat) looks like this;

That's just the spring with internal bump stop. The shock is separate to that, at the front of the wheel arch. Here's a picture of my standard shock when I was about to change the trailing arm bush. The wheel arch liner has been removed. Note no rubber bellows at the bottom of the shock - and it's really quite slender compared to a Nivomat.

I think mine are the same. Sorry picture isn't great. It's a little difficult without taking the wheel off

That looks like a normal shock to me.

Good news is they’re around £100 each, as opposed to £500 each.
