Default FX3 shock question?

I'm replacing the front fx3 shocks on my car due to broken gears on top of the shocks and was wondering if it makes a difference what position the gear is in when you put the actuator back on the shock? Does it make a difference or not? I would hate to have a gear in the wrong position and then when I start the car the actuator breaks the gear off again when it tries to find the correct position. Thanks Zane

Doesn't matter. The acutator cycles to find the end stop each way.

At least you have your actuators. Someone had taken mine off then they had the car serviced back in time. Gonna be fun trying to find some more I suppose. :banghead:
