XTRA CRC and XC-10 CRC Steering Alignment

The following steering alignment procedure can be performed on XTRA CRC or XC-10 CRC front suspensions
only, and should not be used for 38-RMK CRC or non-CRC front suspensions.

General Set Up Tips

Before adjustments are performed on CRC steering, inspect all front suspension and steering components. While
disassembling, make notes of which direction a bolt goes through a part, what type of nut is used in the application,
and which direction do the steering arms go on - weld up or weld down, etc.
Some of the bolts used in the IFS are special, and cannot be purchased at a hardware store. Always use genuine
Polaris parts and hardware when replacing front end components.

Length
WARNING
Maximum set up width is the maximum allowable distance between ski spindle centers with front end of vehicle
off the ground and suspension fully extended. The Maximum Set Up Width specifications listed on page 7.3 are
maximum width measurements, and are critical to ensure adequate torsion bar engagement with the trailing arm.
If the suspension is set too wide, the torsion bar can come loose and interfere with steering. Do not attempt
to set the suspension wider than the specified Maximum Set Up Width.
