Well I found out with my system it does not take much to make the actuators bind when they turn, I had several good actuators to swap around and still threw codes. What i finally did was I took out the rubber washer in the actuator (for giggles) and Voila no codes.

What I did was cut a 5MM slice of wood on my table saw and used that as a reference. If the bolts on top are torqued correctly the distance is exactly 5mm. I know this If the actuators dont just drop into place, and there is any problems aligning or forcing the spring clips to lock them in place, system is NOT happy.
I replaced all the gears and didn't even need new actuators just reused the old one (these are stout pieces) Got it all working with no codes then the shocks started to wear and got codes again, Said the &^%* with it took out the BulB on info center the rest is history.
