suspension still not right - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

ok, rear suspension wasn't rebounding. I tried replacing the right and left springs. Sled still sits flat. I bought a new rear gas shock last year, which didn't help either. Time to replace the front shock and/or spring? Could I be missing something else? Suspension should unload when I'm off the damn thing, but it doesn't. When I do load it, it seems like it drops more on one side than the other. Any thoughts there?

Have the shoxs revalved to be stiffer. did you get any stiffer springs. your suspension is coupled it will sag to a certin ammount.

The new springs are stiffer. I had stiffer springs before that came with the adrenaline package.

what is currently in the back for shox? hpg........you shouls be able to get a race suspension kit. I know cat makes them but I dont know about ski doo. This might take a little looking to find this. do you know anyone that races a ski doo, ask them for the race department phone number, they will tell you what you need.

**smallengineguy** · 01-17-2006, 05:32 PM

There is a tool you use to turn the things on the shock.
