Graham, wrote, 

   The important point is that rubber has a damping effect but steel does not. This is why rubber, (elastic) is better than steel (springs) for undercarriages. Think about it, a spring goes "boingyoingoing" but a rubber band goes "thwack." 



I would normally agree with your statement related to the damping effect of a bungee, however, in the application of the undercarriage (mono) the bungee is to assist with the retraction of the landing gear not to provide dampening.  Dampening is performed with the rubber block and shock absorbers.
