Default Same shocks with equal performance C4

I have q 1995 coupe - the service ride light has come on - I have read the codes and it says replace shocks (right front) but I would change all 4. Is there a direct replacement for the Bilsten shocks, which would get that damm light to go out.

Thanks in advance

2021 C4 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist
Default SRC bypass

Howdy Jim. I have the same situation on my 91 vert. I just ordered shock today, NON FX3!

I did see an article on here about how to jump terminals to disable the SRC light. Of course now that I WANT the information I can't find it.

Good luck.

Larry

Are you sure it is the shocks not the actuators? Big difference.

Even if it throws a code for being out of position the FSM states that the actuators need to be checked first, before condemning the shock.

If you guys are giving up on the FX3 I want the associated hardware, so I can keep mine going...forever. It is a great system.
