vehicle.
Rear Spring
Rear spring preload has an effect on comfort, ride height and
load compensation.
Also, adjusting rear spring preload shifts more or less weight
to the snowmobile front end. As a result, more or less weight
is applied to the skis. This has an effect on performance in
deep snow, steering effort and handling.
Slight suspension bottoming occurring under the worst riding
conditions indicates a good choice of spring preload.
