Can someone confirm the orientation of the torsion spring holder on a 22 srx?

[yamamarc]

Looking over this 22 srx and noticed the torsion spring holders are upside-down . Doesn't look right I am pretty sure they were just install upside-down.
Can someone with a 22 srx confirm please

I’m pretty sure My 2017 spring holders say up with an arrow on them and I know they are in the up position

Yes they all do I have a 18 19 21 and 22 in my garage..
Just want to be sure yamaha didn't do this on the 22 srx to lower height?

Haven't seen a 22 yet, but no way would Cat hove done that for lowering. Its upside down and more than likely dealer messed it up on assembly.

Just looked at mine. Yours is upside down.

that is good catch, could be dangerous , snap top piece n stab track, that aint meant to hold spring pressure like that

When new sleds ship from the factory, isn't the track and skid already installed in the tunnel?

Why would dealer be turning wrenches in this area unless they were doing a track upgrade or something as part of the sale?

It's easier to turn in the narrow position. That's how mine is. Keeps the runner lined up with the ball joints not outside the pivot point !

The skis and front shocks are installed by the dealer but the skid is assembled at the factory. Scary to think Cat's quality control is that bad but unfortunately it's all too common in manufacturing today with the Covid19 issues.

The spring hooks are installed after the machine is uncrated. And yes, those are incorrect

Buddy bought a slightly used 21 and it was sold because the original owner said it rode like crap, torsion blocks were upside down and rear shock bracket was reversed . Had like 2 inch of travel. Lol
