suspension FYI for 2018 mnt cat riders

[SledGuru]

Checked and changing mine, does a guy have to worry about the bolt being to long the other way and going into the shock on the left upper side of limiter strap

I left that one facing forward for that very reason. I just cut the bolt shorter so that it's just a hair over flush with the nylock nut. Works well with no track lug damage.

A buddy of mine has the new 800 cat and while we were out riding you could hear a load ratcheting noise when the suspension was would compress while hitting jumps or holes. We thought the track was loose at first, but when we checked it was fair tight. At closer look the center lugs on the track were all chewed up but there was nothing in the track. Took it to the dealer and they discovered the limiter strap bolts were too long and in the wrong way so that on heavy compression the bolt would contact the track and chew it up. So Cat has gone good for the track and they put in shorter bolts and installed them the other way. Could have been a fluke manufacturing thing or an over site. either way I would check it out.

Arctic cat just recalled the limiter straps this morning check with your dealer for more info

heres another one: 3 little bolts holding rear axle together, 8mm head with 10mm nut.

those supposed to be loose? 2 outa 2 sleds here...

Thanks for the heads up on the Tri-hub. Checked mine last night. All 3 were loose. It appears they were never torqued to 50 in lbs at assembly, cause they were all the same and just finger tight.
