Jeff, are these the ones you got from AJUSA? 2 front and 2 rear?

I went ahead and ordered a set of these shocks. The front right shock gear stops seem to look work (not square). How do these look to you guys? Should I replace it?

Lynn at CaptainZ (who's been very responsive and helpful) is also betting that my actuator needs to be rebuilt. Should I go ahead and send it in or maybe just replace the shock gear first (assuming you guys think it does need to be replaced) and see if the code 14 still shows up?

It appears this question is moot since AJUSA just confirmed that the new shocks come with the gears. Best thing for me to do is to replace the shocks and see if the SRC light still comes on. If it does, then send the actuator to CaptainZ for rebuild.

There is a height or bushing squish requirement. it is possible the actuator is riding a bit over the gear if the shock is not installed deep enough. if you have somebody turn the ign key to run while you look at the actuator- it is supposed to turn.

I've got the new shocks installed now. The SRC is still giving code 14. So I was trying to remove the front right actuator so I can send it in to CaptainZ for rebuild. I can remove the actuator and unplug it. Now, can any magicians out there tell me how I can squeeze the connector and cable (red arrows) in between (yellow line) the metal tube and welds on both ends (blue arrow)? It seems impossible to do? Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Harry

Harry,

If I remember correctly there are bolts inside the fender liner near those areas. By the way, how was the service with AJUSA? A member here bought his car without FX3 shocks and wants to put back to stock with selective ride system. I hope you get yours resolved.

AJUSA service was great. Very responsive via email and chat. Shipping was fast once they had it in stock. The sale price was also much cheaper than my shop could get the shocks for.

Craig, do you mean remove all of these bolts?

HAWAIIZR-1 · 02-27-2017

Harry,

Thanks about AJUSA and I'll pass it on. About the bolts I think it was the top two middle you show arrows. My car is put away to look, but if you look from the inside you should see the piece that is holding those lines against the liner. If you pull off the rubber you will see how that is a separate piece in the center. My memory sucks so I hope I'm guiding you correctly.
