1993 FX3 Shocks??

[Raggs]

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!

I think you can get Bilstein to rebuild them for you for about $100 apiece. Why not get them to go thru the shock while they are at it?

There is/was someone selling the shock gears on ebay.Look under fx3,etc. and see if they're still there. They sold all 4 for $100.00 ??. Doug

Try this website www.captainzcnc.com and look under "ordering"

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.

I got mine sent to Bilstein, all 4, and they rebuilt the gears too, ~$500.

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.
