how to align your track and skis and check the track tension

To make camber adjustments, do the following:
1. Place the snowmobile's front end on a jackstand (If possible,both ends should be propped).

2. Remove the skis and pivot bushings (depending on brand).

3. Insert a pipe (pipe outside diameter is near equal to the skis' mounting bracket inside diameter) through each ski mount until the piperests in both mounting holes.

4. Lengthen or shorten the appropriate tie rods or radius rods until the desired setting is obtained.

Keep in mind that, for the most part, camber adjustments are best handled by your dealer, who will make the adjustments to match your riding style.Additionally, the dealer can measure the right amount of angle tip-in bycompensating for suspension wear.

What exactly is toe-in and toe-out? Again, imagine the fence posts, butthis time they are laying on a flat surface, parallel to each other. Pushthe front ends of the poles in toward each other, this is toe-in. Push themaway from each other, this is toe-out. The best settings here are zero,or one-quarter of an inch toe-out, at the most, but never toe-in. The illsof too much toe-in or toe-out are darting, pull and wandering. Toe-in, specifically,will cause the snowmobile to push to the right or left. Large amounts oftoe-out will cause severe right and left pull. If one ski is toe-in andone is toe-out, anything can happen.

Correcting toe-in and toe-out problems is easy to do, even for the novicerider and is the most critical of all the front-end alignment adjustments.

There are two ways of ensuring your skis are evenly spaced for straighttracking. Try one of the following:
