Arctic cat rear shock pivot

[nacho]

I have a 01 zr and a 99 zl and noticed the rear shock pivot on the zl is below the idler wheel shaft and my zr was above that shaft. Can or should, the zr's be mounted below that shaft. I moved it below and it seems to be working much better than before and is not rubbing on anything. Thanks for any feed back.

The ZR skid is a bit different than that of a ZL, and the pivit point should be up on the ZR skid. If not it will rotate down and rub the track. Then when a large enough bump comes along it will bend the transfer rods next to the rear shock.

Thanks for the info...I ran it over to the dealer to have them double check and they said the same thing. Looks like there are more than one option to mount a lot of that stuff to the skid? Can the transfer rods be mounted in one of the other holes? It would be nice to find out what the result would be if you could move some of those mounting spots.
