FX3 actuator
Hi, guys,
It is my understanding FX3 is a little different between 90-91 and 92-95. Is the difference at the top of the shock only or actuators as well? Also, are front and rear actuators different also? |

Re: FX3 actuator
Actuators are the same. Shocks are different. Yes, front and rear actuators are different lengths.

Re: FX3 actuator
As Greg has stated the actuators are the same from 89-95 for the FX-3 system. The difference was the top gear in the MY 89-91 is the same with 92 being the break point. The actuators work for the entire run.

Re: FX3 actuator
Thanks.
I went to a shop this morning to replace spring cushions and while at it had both shocks removed and replace top bushings w/ poly pieces. The car was throwing a code for passenger side rear. So, I went prepared with replacement gear for the shock. However, actuator planetary gear was shot also. Luckily, shop owner has a 90 ZR-1 and offered his actuator. That's why I wanted to confirm this topic. Once this is corrected the car will be at 100% mechanically! Thanks.

Re: FX3 actuator
Awesome glad to here you back into specs. A lot of folks complain about the FX-3 system but a working system does indeed work.

Driving everyday may have something to do with it. Or, I am just lucky! Also, LTPWS still works fine - knock on wood.
