Major Problems!
Not really just throwing some fuel on for extra advice.....lol
 It appears my front shock has discharged some fluid on the 90 at some point of life. The viton rubber bushing has absorbed, swelled, and was sticking halfway out of the washer cup. Is this fx3 specific or will and corvette 87 up to? work as replacment? Picture added for Chuck! |

Re: Major Problems!
You can still order them new. Or do you mean just the bushing?

It appears as though the shock has been repaired prior, according to a receipt from Bilstein. So the residual oil that was never cleaned off was the root cause. I'm thinking at this point just replace the rubber bushing. |

Re: Major Problems!
Thank you Sir!
Snappics are always good - you never know what you (or others) might see... I've never engaged my actuator here; kinda' wondering if I should do a breakdown, as preventative maintainance...

Judging from the picture quality, I should look into a new IPAD for improved image quality? |

Re: Major Problems!
Got the bushing replaced and now getting a SRC code 31.
Removed the actuator and spun the gear on top of the shock both directions until it stopped. Does it need to be in a specific location prior to re-installation of the actuator? I cleared the code and then it came back? What now? When looking inside the actuator it appears to have a small planetary gear that seems to move around quite a bit side to side? This doesnt seems correct. Any help? |
