FX3 shock actuator motor - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Anybody have a source for actuator motors? Cheapest place I found was through a distributor for Bilstein. $270.00 plus $6.00 shipping to Florida. GM parts direct wants $406.64 with their "shipping and handling" fee. Plastic planetary gears in my left rear disintegrated-was going to switch to Z51 non-adjustable Bilsteins, but Bilstein engineer talked me into trying one of their new actuator motors at $270. Anybody else tossed out the whole system, or just forked over the money for the motors. My '90 has 36K miles on it. Hope this isn't the first of 4 to start failing all at once!
