My shocks are fine except that both front shock gears, (not actuator gears) are stripped. Is there a repair or do I have to replace them? Thanks!

Check your actuator too. I had a shock go out (gear stripped and it took the actuator out too.....or the actuator gear cracked and took out the shock gear) Captzcnc will rebuild your actuator with a metal gear.If the gear on the top of the shock's bypass valve shaft is broken or "stripped" you either have Bilstein rebuild the shocks or you buy new ones. You can also opt for different shock valving if you have Bilstein rebuild them.
Typically, that gear does not strip unless there is either a problem in the shock or with the actuator.
