: Another Track Tension Setting Question

When I have my track where the sag is the same on both sides the bolts are not at the same place.

Is it normal to have an 1/8" difference in how far the two bolts are in?

I measured the spaces beetween the locking nuts and the inside of the bolt heads. On one side I have 1/2", the other side has 5/8" but the sag is the same on both sides of the track.

The sled is a 2000 xc700sp with a brand new ice ripper track.

Thanks

I bet that you do not have the rear axel spacer installed correctly (ref to #6). The rear spacers have a cup in the one side that the adjustment bolt goes into. You probably have one side turned the wrong way. See diagram from my 2003 XCSP.

Hope this helps. John.

Thanks snowfun but I didn't have that apart, just loosened.
