6. Place the straightedge against the outside edge of the
track so it lies near the inside edge of the right-side
ski.
7. Measure the distance from the straightedge to the
right-side ski wear bar bolts in two places: 7-8 in. in
front of the spindle and 7-8 in. behind the spindle.
Record the measurements taken for the right side.
8. If ski alignment is not as specified, adjust the align-
ment of the ski(s) not parallel to the straightedge.
ADJUSTING
NOTE: The following procedure can be used to
adjust the alignment of either ski.
NOTE: The rivets securing the steering boots will
have to be removed in order to adjust the inner tie rod
ends.
1. Secure the steering tie rod in the centered position.
2. Loosen both spindle tie rod jam nuts on the same
side as the ski to be aligned.
3. Using a wrench on the spindle tie rod “flats,” rotate
the spindle tie rod until recommended specification
is attained.
4. Apply blue Loctite #243 to each jam nut thread area;
then tighten the jam nuts against the spindle tie rod.
NOTE: Repeat this procedure on each side (if nec-
essary) until ski toe-out is within specification.
VERIFYING
1. With the handlebar in the straight-ahead position,
verify ski alignment by measuring across from the
outside edge of the left-side wear bar bolts to the out-
side edge of the right-side wear bar bolts (without
using the straightedge) in two places: approximately
7-8 in. in front of the spindle and 7-8 in. behind the
spindle.
2. The measurement from in front of the spindle to the
outer edge of the wear bar bolts (without using the
straightedge) must not exceed the rear measurement
by more than 1/16-1/4 in. toe-out.

REMOVING
NOTE: On the 9000, the front bumper must be
removed.
1. Elevate the front of the snowmobile and secure using
a suitable support stand.
2. Remove the push rivets securing the steering boot to the
chassis; then slide the boot away from the snowmobile.
3. Remove the torx-head screws securing the front skid
plate to the chassis; then remove the front skid plate.
4. Remove the ski shock absorber.
5. Remove the two lock nuts securing the spindle to the
A-arms; then using a rubber mallet, remove the arms
from the spindle. Discard the nuts.
! WARNING
The measurement from the front and rear wear bar
bolts to the straightedge can be equal (ski parallel to
the track), but the front measurement must never be
less (ski toed-in) or poor handling will be experienced.
The front wear bar bolt measurement to the straight-
edge must not exceed the measurement from the rear
wear bar bolt to the straightedge (ski toed-out) by
more than 5/32 in.
! WARNING
Neglecting to lock the tie rod by tightening the jam
nuts may cause loss of snowmobile control and possi-
ble personal injury.
! WARNING
The measurement taken in front of the spindle must never
be less than the measurement taken behind the spindle or
poor handling will be experienced. Neglecting to lock the
tie rod by tightening the jam nuts may cause loss of snow-
mobile control and possible personal injury.
