Suspension

The following suspension system components should be

inspected periodically to ensure proper operation.

A. Shock absorber rods not bent, pitted, or damaged.

B. Rubber damper not cracked, broken, or missing.

C. Shock absorber body not damaged, punctured, or

leaking.

D. Shock absorber eyelets not broken, bent, or cracked.

E. Shock absorber eyelet bushings not worn, deterio-

rated, cracked, or missing.

F. Shock absorber spring not broken or sagging.

Shock Absorbers

REMOVING

1. Secure the ATV on a support stand to elevate the

wheels and to release load on the suspension.

2. Remove the two cap screws and nuts securing each

front shock absorber to the frame and the upper A-

arm. Account for bushings and sleeves from each.

AF605D

3. Remove the two cap screws and nut securing each

rear shock absorber to the frame and lower A-arm.

Account for bushings and sleeves from each.

AF626D

4. Compress the shock absorber spring, remove the

retainer, and remove the spring.

AF730D

CLEANING AND INSPECTING



NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively, cracked,

or damaged in any way, replacement is necessary.

1. Thoroughly clean all shock absorber components.

2. Inspect each shock rod for nicks, pits, rust, bends,

and oily residue.

3. Inspect all springs, spring retainers, shock rods,

sleeves, bushings, shock bodies, and eyelets for

cracks, leaks, and bends.

INSTALLING

1. Place the shock absorber spring over the shock

absorber, compress the spring, and install the

retainer.

2. Place bushings and sleeves (where appropriate) into

shock eyelet; then install shock with two cap screws

and nuts. Tighten all front and upper rear nuts to 50

ft-lb and the lower rear A-arm nuts to 20 ft-lb.

3. Remove the ATV from the support stand.

! WARNING

Make sure the ATV is solidly supported on the support
stand to avoid injury.

CAUTION

Additional support stands are necessary to support the
rear axle when the shock absorbers are removed or
damage may occur.

CAUTION

Do not tighten the lower shock to A-arm nuts beyond
the 20 ft-lb specification or the shock eyelet or mount
WILL be damaged.
