    Hi guys, just replaced the suspension actuator. Yellow light gone out. The difference is night and day. I found the ride was harsh when the system was faulty. This was also compounded by poor handling. since the system has started working again its a different car.
    NEVER again. It was like the suspension on my old 993...yeuch.....

    Interesting, this was just on one particular shock? I noticed in the records from my car, that it has had three shocks and (I think) at least two, maybe three acuators replaced at various times in the past.

    Dave - you must not be alone. In the past 90 days, I've sold 4 of those to four different people. I suppose it's a common point of failure.

    Daniel, while reviewing records of 355's, I found several items that were commonly replaced:

    shocks
    shock actuators
    cats
    exhaust manifolds
    cat ecus
    underbody trays (damaged from bottoming)
