Default Front suspension actuator?

Wha does part 89241b do? Is this part of the comfort settings? I thought only the rear was adjustable?

I had to look it up:

This is the cable & actuator that connects to the top of the OEM shock absorber. It changes the dampener settings on the shock, altering the "Comfort" level.

Both the front & rear are adjustable (the rear shocks are far more expensive than the fronts) via the center console switch.

Thank you Chip, I wasn't sure that the comfort settings adjust both. My suspension seems okay at the moment but I'm pretty sure that when I do need replacements, that I am not going to go with the oem system. It's hard to decide on what new shocks and springs will offer the closet to factory comfort with a slight front leveling lift kit.
