My ride select right rear actuator is messed up. Anyone have any suggestions to get a new one?

Doesn't matter which year. All the actuators from 1989-1995 will work. The only difference was the stop cam gear on the shock and the FX controller that commanded the actuator.

As to "new" implying NOS that's going to be a hard find. Used ones pop up on EBay all the time. Capt Z used to rebuild these and replace the plastic stop cams with CNCed aluminum but I can't find his web site at the moment and he might have went out of business. During that search I saw Zip corvette and Corvette central offer a rebuild service so maybe he's doing them exclusive for the parts house now. GC

Yep but it's doesn't matter. Only thing that matters is the length of the cable. Either short or long. GM LOVES to change part numbers all the time. GC

Mine's a 92. It's missing a tooth. I did see that rebuild that put metal back in. I can't find it either.I looked at the Corvette Central item. It's a front shock actuator that could be used for the back. It's a thought. I was considering getting a used one since I'm selling the car. I'm thinking that eBay would back it up but once you put it in a car, I would think that the guarantee would expire at that point.
