Is this a front or rear shock absorber?

Do I need to replace both rear shocks at once?
It's sold individually, but replacing both sides together as a matched pair is recommended so the rear axle delivers even, balanced ride control.
What are signs my rear shock may need replacing?
Common signs include excessive bouncing after bumps, a floaty or unstable feel, nose-diving, and uneven tire wear. Have the suspension diagnosed to confirm the cause before replacing.
Is this shock gas-charged?
