Was putting a new rail on my alpha and put in a stiffer front spring
Went to put in new spring on the front track shock and noticed this
And then the center shock
Harder to see but same wear marks. Arctic cat puts the springs on is what the dealer told me. Don't know if I ever would have noticed this otherwise. There isn't enough clearance between the shock spring and piggy back. I left the shocks with the dealer and they agreed it wasn't right. Never touched the preload on the shocks other than the quick adjust. Any thoughts?
