🛠️ Installation Tips
-
Support the Frame: When replacing rear shocks, use a floor jack under the main frame, not the rear A-arms. The rear end is heavy (engine-heavy), so ensure the vehicle is stable on jack stands before proceeding.
-
The "S" Model Check: Before installing, compare the length with your old shocks. RZR 800 S shocks are longer than standard RZR 800 shocks. If they don't match, do not attempt to force them in.
-
Bushing Inspection: Check the mounting holes on your RZR's frame and A-arms. If the holes are "egged out" (oval-shaped), a new shock won't fix the clunking noise—you'll need to repair the mounting tabs.
-
Adjust Pre-load: Use a spanner wrench to adjust the spring pre-load. If you carry a lot of gear or a passenger, increase the pre-load (compress the spring) to maintain ground clearance and prevent bottoming out.
-
Lube the Bolts: Apply a small amount of waterproof grease to the mounting bolts. This prevents them from seizing inside the shock bushings over time, making future maintenance much easier.
🔍 Troubleshooting Guide
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
| Rear End Sagging | Spring fatigue or low gas pressure. | Increase the spring pre-load. If the vehicle still sits too low, the internal nitrogen charge may have leaked, requiring a new shock. |
| Oil Leaking on Body | Blown seal from bottoming out. | If you see fresh oil coating the shock shaft or body, the internal seal is gone. Replace the pair to restore consistent damping. |
| Bouncing After Bumps | Loss of rebound damping. | If the rear of the RZR keeps bouncing after a bump (like a pogo stick), the shock is "blown" and no longer controlling the spring's energy. |
| Metal-on-Metal Clunk | Worn shock bushings or loose bolts. | Inspect the rubber/spherical bushings at the top and bottom of the shock. If there is "play," replace the bushings or the shock. |
| Harsh/Stiff Ride | Excessive pre-load or cold oil. | Back off the pre-load adjustment. In cold weather, nitrogen shocks may feel stiff for the first mile until the oil warms up through friction. |
