FX3 shock gear spins without stopping - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

EvanZR1 · 11-03-2018

Ok, so I started getting Service Ride Control message again, and started digging around and found that on the passenger front shock the gear at the top will just spin without ever stopping. What's the solution?

FYI, I also have DRM coilovers, so if I have to get a replacement shock, it means I'll have to get it machined for the coilovers. Has anyone had any luck getting FX3 Bilsteins rebuilt recently (I saw the thread where it doesn't seem like Bilstein is doing it anymore). Kind of wishing now I'd just done Van Steels with QA1 manually adjustables...

Also, I do have a full set of 92+ FX3 shocks machined for the DRM coilovers and a 92 controller, could I just swap all of that in and would it work?

I think you are good. Replacing the set with a full on 92 shocks/actuators/controller module will work.
