[QUOTE="AZ-Rich, post: 2013399, member: 11519"] Ok, I diagnosed the cause of some low speed rotational noise as likely related to the IWE actuators not receiving sufficient vacuum. My 2010 has just 70k but being in AZ the excessive heat ruins plastics over time. I had just had a complete shock rebuild done and while replacing the fronts I must have disturbed the IWE vacuum lines stretching across the upper shock mounts. Didn't realize just how brittle those rigid lines had become. The actuators were vacuum tested and they are fine as was the solenoid. So, I needed to find a IWE vacuum line assembly replacement for the fix. Well, no surprise the dealer parts dept checked and that assembly is "obsolete" with no replacements available. Best they could suggest tas to look at eBay or some other online source for one. Nope I, did that quite thoroughly and nothing out there was available except one on Bay for $160 in Abu Dabi! The assemblies are specific to the year and looks like Im out of luck. Im wondering what others have done to replace theirs? Any suggestions? I imagine I will need to completely copy the OEM vacuum assembly using 1/8th ID high temp vacuum lines, new connectors and clips. [/QUOTE]
