Yeah they are filled with oil. And when you replace them (you should), be VERY careful to not let them uncompress (remove with two hands). Me and a buddy replaced my front shocks, we took one out, the two pieces of the shock seperated (the pin part flew up) and exploded the green oil all over us. It was disgusting.
