SHOCK ABSORBER USAGE GUIDE

Below is a list of shock absorbers used on the front and rear suspensions of many Arctic Cat snowmobiles.

Specifications given for each shock absorber include collapsed and extended length, stroke, and both
rebound and compression valving ratings.

When using the shock absorber guide, always select a shock absorber with the same length, both
collapsed and extended. Shock valving selection will depend on personal preference.
