Rod ends must be parallel to their respective mounting surface
after tightening jam nut. Hold the rod end and tighten jam nut.
If possible, support the edge of the rod end to keep it from
rotating out of position until jam nut is tight. When rod ends
are properly tightened, the rod should rotate freely

The following table is the factory specifications for the 2006
Polaris Snowmobile front suspension set up.
Maximum width and camber measurements are to be taken
with the front end elevated and shocks at full extension.
Toe alignment is measured at ride height. This means that the
machine is on the ground and resting at normal ride height, not
full rebound. Measure at a point 10" (2.54cm) forward of the
ski mount bolt and 10" (2.54cm) behind the ski mount bolt,
preferably on the center line of the carbide skags.
Width is measured from the center of the spindles.
Camber measurement is taken from the top of the alignment
bar to the top of the ski mount hole in the spindle with the
bushing removed.
