How much were the Shocks? Corvette central?

Another 1990/1991 owner might need them

Thanks

I got them at Corvette America.. list is $207.99 But I am able to go through a member of my local club that handles the club orders and I go a discount on them, I forget exactly what I paid, but it was better then any other place I looked

I need to fix the other side then I will reset and see where I am, but it sure looks like the Actuators are working as they should

I have the Out of position error, what else should I check?

Jeff the crown height to actuator height is critical. When I installed these brand new I received the same errors as I also installed new bushings from DRM as well. I let the weight of the car compress them for about a week. Now pull the shocks and make sure the top thread of the internal shock rod is 1.5 threads above the top nut. Use a wrench in the slot on the shock rod to prevent it from turning while tightening down. Reinstall and clear the codes.

yes that is what Marc h said, but it was more critical to be too far over then a slight bit under..

Once I pull the Pass Side, I will match it to the ones I removed ( I had all the extra pieces) and will see if I can get the pass side working.. then move back to the driver side

FIXED!!

right side gear was not set right, which I knew. So I fixed that, adjusted the coilover height and put it back together. Now, I had codes 33 & 34, on Sunday when I fixed the Left side, I tried to clear codes and expected 33 to go away but 34 to remain, but I still had both 33 & 34. so after I got the right side done and mostly mounted I thought I should test before fully assembling.. Get the keys and what do you know.. ALL COdes are cleared.

I find it odd that I could not clear the left but once both were fixed they all cleared. I am not complaining.. glad it is good to go
