What kind of oil is in a snowmobile shock?

What kind of oil is in a snowmobile shock?

Shock oil was a dark brown, milky, and full of bubbles. So I continued to clean the shock, dismantled the piston orifice and valves, and put everything back together. Question: Does anyone know the proper depth of the floating piston for the rear arm shock?

Can You rebuild shocks on a snowmobile?

Cause I have 12 shocks to do, and the dealer here doesn’t rebuild shocks. Go to you dealer and pick up a performance man. It has a step by step procedure for servicing shocks and will list the IFP depth charts for the sled model.

Is there a depth gauge for Arctic Cat shock?

The depth gauge was useless. I used Arctic Cat’s needle valve to release the pressure in the shock. Not sure how much nitrogen is in these to start, but not much came out. As soon as I unscrewed the back end of the shock, the floating piston poped out, thus I was unable to measure the depth of this piston.

Do you need a depth gauge on a snowmobile?

The manual is great. you need a depth gauge too if you don’t already have one. Some say you can use calipers too. Make sure you have a regulator and a gauge right on the needle portion too. Send me pointers too.

What kind of shocks are in a snowmobile?

(Part Number 0703-666). The sled is a 2001 ZR600LE. FYI: Found it! All done. Wasn’t that hard after all. The shock oil was a dirty milky brown in all shocks.

Is there a way to rebuild a Fox shocks?

Does anyone have any pointers on rebuilding the act/fox shocks. I am gonna make my first attempt tomorrow evening. I have the oil, depth gauge tool, and a needle valve.
