Default Asking a favour 20 bucks in it for the first person

Hey guys looking for some help - can someone take a pic of their gs with AVS and specifically the AVS motor position for the front suspension and the positioning of the silver bracket that the motor locks into (it's under those black dust caps under the hood covering the tops of the suspension)?

I'll send 20 bucks your way in Canadian plasticy colored bill goodness if you can as I know it will take 15 mins of your time.

Thanks just want to do a double check to ensure I have everything a-ok after my suspension install.

Thanks!

Thank you I have those directions however I need to see what direction the motors are (on top of those silver brackets) as they can fit both ways with the bracket.

Also I need both sides to ensure I'm not flipping the motor from one side to the other

Believe it doesn't matter cuz the motor spins 110 degree clockwise when you turn to S+

So if I ensure the motors are mounted and the rotating core turned all the way counter clockwise when placing back on I should be good?

Don't mount the AVS module on the strut yet.leave it where you can see it from inside th he car. Then start the engine and you can see the module turn and go back to its default position. That's what I did to reassure the module prior to installing it to the bracket.
My previous installer manually turned the module counter clockwise before hooking it up to the bracket. Don't do that!!!! I feel that could damage the motor/module.its pretty straight forward and easy once you play with it a a few times. Good luck

I didn't have anything for the adjustment of the dampening pin that came with mine. I found a tool I had at home that worked.
