SRC Shocks Broken?
'93 Vert shows SRC codes 21 & 31. Working through diagnostics I have a question about the shocks. The gears on top of both front shocks will turn (with some resistance) endlessly. They never come to a dead "stop". Does this mean they're broken, or is a slight difference in turning resistance all the actuator looks for to determine the "stop" position? I can't tell for sure from the diagnostic instructions in the GM manual which is supposed to be correct.
It makes the difference between buying an actuator or a shock. The price of either will undoubtedly be "shocking", so I don't want to buy the wrong one. Thanks for any help from experience,
Steve

Thanks for the response. I was afraid that was going to be the case, since GM lists replacement shocks at just over $600 each. Any chance of repairing these if a guy is reasonable capable?
Anybody know of a forum sponsor / member who offers a discount worth chasing replacement adjustables - or a source for servicable used units?
