FX3 shock actuators
Are they the same between the early years and later?
Also, any difference between the front and rear except for the wire length? |

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. Rich

Re: FX3 shock actuators
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.

Re: FX3 shock actuators
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.

Re: FX3 shock actuators
Speaking of actuators, I have a complete set if someone needs them.

Re: FX3 shock actuators
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

Re: FX3 shock actuators
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. |

Re: FX3 shock actuators
If they are doing actuator rebuilds seems they would also have replacement planetary gears. Wouldn't hurt to give them a call.
