THE PERFECT FIT
IQ Front Suspension Adjustments
Front Shock Spring Preload
Increasing spring preload will increase ski-to-ground
pressure. Decreasing spring preload will decrease
ski-to-ground pressure. When adjusting, be sure the
springs on both the left and right sides of the
machine are at the same adjustment.
A = Low preload
B = High preload
Increasing the spring preload too much may
adversely affect the handling of the snowmobile and
the performance of the rear suspension.
Decreasing the spring preload too much may allow
the upper spring retainer to fall off.
NOTE: Always leave at least one thread showing
above the nut.
1. Grasp the spring and turn it to the left to increase preload.
2. Turn the spring to the right to decrease preload.
Front Springs
The front springs can be changed if spring preload alone isn’t sufficient
and further adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness. See
your Polaris dealer for more information.
