looks like all i need are the actuators.what bothers me is why they would remove the cables. are there any shocks that are worth a darn, that i could replace the ones i have, in case there is more to this than just the cables? by the way, my 95 is the same color as yours, polo green.
thanks!

Polo and FX3 go together real nice.
I'm not sure I understand - are you saying the FX3 wiring is also MIA? Sometimes when the rear actuator wiring is unplugged it falls inside the frame.
As always, money is the answer to your why question: an owner who didn't want to spend money, or a dealer who figured it was a negative monetary feedback to properly repair. I like the FX3, and I wouldn't be as happy without it.

it looks like they unplugged it and just didnt put it back on!
the quick connect is still there on both sides, just not the cable that runs from the connector to the shock. id sure like to try the fx 3, but with no connection, i dont know what kind of ride im getting!

My bet is the PO had problems and did not want to spend the money to maintain the FX3 system. He might even have pulled the control module as well. A set of non-adjustable Bilsteins will cost you about $300 and will bolt right up with no problems.
