FX3 parts
Did the "Search" thing already but no luck.
It seems to me that I saw a posting on where to get FX3 parts. I need the small gear that sits on top of the shock.
Any help and I will be grateful...

The gear on the shock rod is not available by itself from either GM or Bilstein. The shock can be sent to Bilstein and they will rebuild or repair the shock and that includes a new gear.
There is a forum member who is making replacement ring gears from billet aluminum for the actuator, but I'm not sure if he is working on the shock gear. The gear is held in place by a very small pin.

Hi C4Cruiser,
I'm the guy who is working on replacing the "gears" in the actuators with billet aluminum ones. I hope to have a website up soon. We would like to be able to make the shock gears sometime in the future but that is a ways out yet. I ran into this bit of info. on the shock gears and someone who is possibly making them. I haven't checked into though personally and can't vouch for whether or not it exists or anything about them.
The part is available from Brian Geraci at:
Vette Tech
10 Grand Avenue Unit #105
Santa Ana, CA 92705
714-558-1568 -- 714-558-1569 fax
$199.95 for a package of four gears and a tool to help the installation of them.
Once again I only found this in searches on the net and don't know how valid it is or anything about it really.
