Default Terminology Question

Hi all, hope everyone has had a good summer and spent lots of time climbing around your Rigs.....we are getting ready to head for SC, Myrtle Beach. Last time I visited Freightliner I was told to watch the rear end, it was sweating a little, so on this road trip I want to stop in at Freightliner and have it checked out (warranty work), now for my question, I have a garage unit that carries my Smart Car, prior to loading or unloading I dump the air, this lowers the rear end several inches reducing the angle of the ramp making it easier. While climbing around underneath I have noticed the two large SHOCKS, CYLINDERS that make the up and down happen, it looks like one is angled differently or cocked, I think there may be a SLIGHT list, not sure. When I call to make the appointment, what are those CYLINDERS, SHOCKS, technically called, I like to use the proper language when describing my concerns, thanks, Gene.....
