I have an 03 800X model and just bought some control arms from a member but they are shorter than the ones on my sled. I would like to see if someone could go out and measure thiers for me so I can find out if they are the right length or if the dude I bought my sled from had put a widening kit in this one. Just a measure from center to center or total length end to end will be fine for both upper and lower. Thanx in advance guys.
Control arm length

- Start date
I was just looking through a parts site and found out that they changed the control arms from the 01 to 02and 03's. The ones I bought are from an 01 so if anyone needs some control arms for an 01 summit let me know as I have all 4 of them.
i just went through a front suspension problem with my '03... one of my shocks froze and collapsed so i bought a new pair ...found out that the past owner had swapped the shocks off a '00 when i went to do the repairs- the springs on "my" shocks were too short
somewhere in those years doo went to longer shocks and changed the radius rod lengths to keep the machines @ the same ski stance(@ 39").if ya can"t get the proper lengths you might want to try getting the shocks from the dude too...
or at least verify that the rest of your suspension is what it is supposed to be before buying more parts

Word to the wise control arms from the 01's will not replace the stockers off of and 02-03 unless you buy the radius rods for the steering controls as well.
