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.
