2013 Pro A-Arm Swap (need pointers)

[trackvs2wheels]

Hey guys,

Gunna put some Z-Broz a-arms on one of my 13 Pro's this weekend. Although I'm pretty handy with most things on a sled, never really disassembled a front end before. Anything I should know before getting started with this project?

I'm mostly concerned with assuring I get it all back together straight and aligned with proper toe out/in, so pointers on this are greatly appreciated

Thanks to everyone in advance for your help!

I believe your 13 shocks will be to short to run Zbroz arms. I was told you need to run 11-12 pro length shocks to run there a arms. Unless there is other options that I am not aware of.
you can although run there 36" arms with the factory 13-14 length arms

Almost 100% positive the 39" stock replacement Z-Broz arms are direct replacements for a 13. You may be thinking of their 36" setup that requires a little different setup...?????

They just make one type of 39" a arm that fits all of the pros. But now they have a kit to adapt the MY 13-14 stock pro shocks to fit their a arm

Just did this swap myself (sorta, zbroz and '13 spindles onto '12 chassis).

Couple pointers:

- Make sure when you reinstall the tie rods, you put the correct ball joint on the spindle side. One has a longer bolt than the other, to accommodate the thicker metal in the spindle, and they're a pain the *** to tighten and loosen.

- When you set the alignment, center your handlebars and find some way to secure them in that position. I used ratchet straps from each end of the bars back to my rear bumper, but I'm sure there's easier ways.

- Set the skis so the distance measured at the front of the skis is the same or +1/8" compared to the measurement between the rear of the skis. (That's straight out of the polaris service manual)

- Once you have the skis aligned with each other, measure from a common point on the front of each ski back to a center point on the chassis, and adjust the tie rods evenly until both skis are the same distance from the center point. Double check your skis are still aligned with each other after doing this.

- Once you got everything perfect, tighten the lock nuts on the tie rods and go have a beer. Hard part is done.

Zbroz sells eyelets for the 13 shocks. they will be 1" sort cus the mounting of the lowr a-arm is diffrent
