Spot on Jeff!

The nut was not torqued to specification! Once torqued to spec the gear was engaged to the actuator.

The SRC light went out prior to even cranking the car!

Thanks guys......it appears the only problem was "the loose nut between the seat and steering wheel"

Went for a drive and within 2 miles the code 31 came back. It goes out once the ignition is on then comes back on once it has a couple of miles logged.

Just a thought.

You may want to swap the actuator with the other side, if the code moves with it you know that the problem is the actuator.

Forgive me for high jacking this thread but my question pertains to the OP's topic...At some point will these Bilstein's need replacing just due to age? Mine are now 20 years old but have less than 40k miles on them. At what point does the age become more of a factor than the miles?

My car has 20k miles and know for a fact the front two shocks have been replaced already.

With that said, I would bet the age dictates failure mode.

double check that the actuator is fully seated in the cup and the retainer clip is also seated on all 3 sections
