🛠️ Installation Tips
-
Identify the "S" Fitment: These shocks are specifically for the RZR 800 S (the 60-inch wide model). They are significantly longer than the shocks for the standard 50-inch RZR 800. Ensure your machine has the factory wide A-arms before installation.
-
Grease the Eyelets: Before sliding the mounting bolts through, apply a thin layer of waterproof marine grease to the inner metal sleeves of the shock bushings. This prevents the "squeaking" common on Polaris independent front suspensions.
-
Jack Placement: Lift the RZR by the frame until the front wheels are completely off the ground. This allows the A-arms to drop to their full extension, making it easy to align the shock eyelets with the mounting tabs.
-
Torque Specifications: Tighten the upper and lower mounting bolts to $42 \text{ lb-ft}$. Under-tightening will cause a "clunking" sound as the shock shifts in the bracket, while over-tightening can crush the mounting tabs.
-
Preload Adjustment: After the first ride, check your ride height. If the front end sits too low, use a spanner wrench to increase the spring preload. For a smoother trail ride, back the preload off slightly.
🔍 Troubleshooting Guide
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
| "Pogo Stick" Bouncing | Blown internal damping/valving. | If the RZR continues to bounce after a bump, the shock has lost its oil or nitrogen charge. The unit must be replaced to regain control. |
| Oil Leaking from Shaft | Failed wiper seal. | If you see wet oil/dust buildup on the chrome shock shaft, the seal has failed. This will eventually lead to a total loss of damping. |
| Uneven Ride Height | Sagged spring or bent A-arm. | Measure from the floor to the frame on both sides. If one side is lower, the spring has likely "taken a set." Replacing the pair restores a level stance. |
| Harsh "Clunking" Sound | Worn bushings or loose bolts. | Inspect the rubber bushings at the top and bottom of the shock. If they are cracked or have "play," the shock will clunk over every small rock. |
| Stiff/Harsh Ride | Too much spring preload. | If the suspension feels like it has no "give," use a spanner wrench to lower the spring adjustment collar (reducing preload). |
