Ski Tip Sag

[BainHead]

2013 Pro - Just installed AI 36" arms with stock WE shocks. I noticed something odd. With the sled on the stand and skis off the ground, the ski tips sag very low. They are less than parallel with the track. Im worried that when coming down from a wheelie they would stab the snow and get caught. I didn't really look at this when the stock arms were still on but it caught my eye afterwords.

Has anyone else noticed this?? Is it normal for them to sag a little?


I dont have any pictures at the moment but will try to get some tonight.

ski bushings are worn out. i put c&a bushigs in mine and it worked better for a bit. just a bad design the stock bushings suck

Look into the Doo ski bushings, seem to work better than anything else out their right now. Mine have worked well for me.

Fwiw i just put on slp mohawk skis and they are tight. The ski dives under they sno instead of trying to stand up. Makes carving much better

Polaris made new ski rubbers this year for the grippers

Polaris made new ski rubbers this year for the grippers

Would those be better than the old (11-15) pro rubbers?
Or the doo ski rubbers?

Maybe it's not AS BAD as I thought? Thoughts?

On another note I checked the ski bushings and they seem ok... Maybe the angle of the spindle changed with the new arms??

That does not look that bad????

anyone else have any thoughts on this??

That looks normal, just think how much more weight you have on the front of the skis; more ski distance on the front of the spindle and ski loop. That's almost balanced out.
