FX3 shock actuators - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Are they the same between the early years and later?
Also, any difference between the front and rear except for the wire length?

Yun,
Yes there is a difference between the early and later cars as far as the actuator. Has something to do with the amount of rotation in it makes.

Shock rotation is different but actuators I don't see any differentiation based on shox.com - same actuators are listedfor 89-95. Shocks they show early and laterv ersions separately.

Actuators are the same for all years of FX3, My 91 has a 92+controller and shocks in it, but with the original actuators. Front and rear are interchangeable other than wire length issues.

That was my suspicion. Thanks for the confirmation.

Speaking of actuators, I have a complete set if someone needs them.

I need one rear. How much? Is the plastic planetary gear intact?
Would you PM me?

Yun,
Scroll down on this page from Captain Z CNC web site and he shows later style actuator gears for $35 http://captainzcnc.com/id4.html

Phil,

Those are for gears on top of the shocks. I think one of my rear actuator planetary gear (inside the actuator) is busted and periodically gets hung up tripping the light. I noticed partially broken planetary but it was working befor.

If they are doing actuator rebuilds seems they would also have replacement planetary gears. Wouldn't hurt to give them a call.
