Default FX3 Shocks.

I could not find, via the search mode, pictures of the shocks, installed, for the front. I would like to see where the actuator attaches.
Thank you.

Great just great, I got riped off, when I got the car. My fault for not knowing what I was looking at.

None of the shocks have that "cap" on them, there is however a selective switch in between the power seat bottons. I bet when I take off the cover tonight, there is not a single wire connected this switch.

Oh I am pisseed now, this dealer did me six ways to Sunday!!! He was supposed to be a Corvette Dealer!! DangIT!!!

But i have also seen sometimes that some owner changed the shocks (and putted in cheap ones to save money) and removed the actuators.

Check if the selector switch is cabled and if yes check for cutted cabels near the top of the shocks.
