ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENTS

Alignment adjustments should be preformed in this order.

EDGE SET UP WIDTH

Prior to performing steering alignment, the suspension should
be inspected for damage or wear and replacement parts
installed as required.
IMPORTANT: Camber, width are dimensions that
depend on each other. If any adjustments have been
made, each one should be checked.
WARNING
A maximum set up width is listed in Table 10-9 in this
chapter. Maximum set up width is the maximum allow-
able distance between ski spindle centers at ride
height. The Maximum Set Up Width specifications are
maximum width measurements, and are critical to en-
sure adequate torsion bar engagement with the Trail-
ing/Control Arms. If the suspension is set too wide, the
torsion bar may disengage from trailing arm. Do not at-
tempt to set the suspension wider than the specified
maximum set up width.
1. Make sure that the track is properly aligned. Track
alignment is critical because this will be used as a
reference point for final toe out measurement. See
"TRACK ALIGNMENT" on page 3.20.
2. Support the front of the machine is at ride height.
3. Remove the skis and ski pivot bushings.

4. Disconnect the torsion bar.
5. Measure spindle to chassis centering and record the
measurement.
6. The spindle centering and set up width is controlled by
adjusting the radius rod lengths, and must not exceed the
maximum set up width listed.
NOTE: Both spindle centers should be an equal
distance ± 1/8" (3mm) from the center of the chassis.

WARNING
After camber adjustment is complete, be sure to
measure set up width outlined in this chapter and
compare to model specifications listed. Do not at-
tempt to set suspension wider than the specified
maximum set up width. If set up width exceeds
maximum, adjust upper and lower radius rods
equally to maintain camber adjustment.
1. Raise the front of the machine so that the skis are off the
floor 3" (7.62cm). The shocks should be at full extension.
2. Remove the skis.
3. Determine which spindle requires the greatest amount of
correction my installing the alignment bar through one
spindle to the other spindle. Measure the distance (2) from
the top of the alignment bar to the top of the ski mount hole
with the bushing(s) removed. Record measurement.
4. Remove the alignment bar and install it to the opposite
