Default shock/fx3 question

ok when I got my car one of my actuators was off the shock. I am now going to put it back on and see if by some mirical (sp?) the system starts to work.

So the actuator came off the rear left shock. I just pulled the tire off and now have to put the actuator on, but I cant see how to get to the top of the shock? To put the actuator on do I have to take the shock off first?

Default Re: shock/fx3 question (MBVette)

On my 1992 coupe the rear shock is held on by a plate that has two bolts. Just undo the two bolts and the shock will slip out of the frame.
Be careful not to let the actuator slip down into the frame. Also make sure the small spring clip is still attached and that both set of gears are OK also.

Nice color vette also.
