something in my rear suspension is broke, dont know if i blew a shock or what. its base model 2007, theres no sag in it but when ur going down the trail and hitting bumps, its like its bucking up and you can hear a clunking sound. its like a pogo stick. any ideas? ive heard about a update for the 2007 suspension, what was that? i bought this sled used so not sure if thats been done.
 

The bilit aluminum part that the front shock mounts to isnt strong enough so thats prolly the problem you have take a look at your front shock in the suspension near the front two bogies theres a large bilit aluminum piece im willing to bet thats your problem
 
I circled the part in question

Its the bracket holding that aluminum piece that snaps after the update but being an '07 you probably have the weaker metal link that usually breaks unloading the sled.
 
What exactly breakes*?
did you solve this?
I hit som bumps and seem to have the same problem.
The sled kinda "stucks" and i can lift it up even if theres no weight ont it.

When i ride it sounds like a "kloink" sound when suspension flexes out... Same trouble you have?

Though my sled's not running now, i would like to know how to solve this to :)
 
Wouldn't it be easier to remove the suspension and check it out rather than trying to have us diagnose it from a sound and toy reference?
 
If its like a pogo stick actually push down on the rear bumper and if It shoots back up ,like cannon says you probably have a blown shock ,and as ray says I would yank the skid out of the machine for service anyhow.
 
well ray, that would be the easy thing to do but my suspension was all snow and ice at the time i posted that, was just trying to get an idea what to look for. and you werent any help so i dont know why you even responded.
 
I feel that regardless of what the REAL issue is that is related around the area i circuled or that shock itself may be blown Ray has a point of removing the suspension and checking it closely. I completely understand your snow and ice problem and not being able to check it out right away and Am happy to answer anything i can
 
yea i appreciate thehelp, the problem ended up being the medal link that broke. dealer says the billet aluminum update part is 350.00!! i guess it replaces alot of other stuff besides the bracket. couldnt afford that so just got a new metal bracket for now.
