I think your rear shock is installed upside down. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the reservoir will hit the track when compressed.
Good catch! I just checked mine and the resi is on the bottom side of my rear shock.

Crap... thanks for catching that! The dealer installed them and I just assumed it was correct and didn't look to hard at it...I think your rear shock is installed upside down. Maybe I'm wrong but I think the reservoir will hit the track when compressed.

Yes,it was installed upside down,my resi is underneath,its hard to get to,i wish it was like yours,it would be much easier,but it is what it is. just have them fit it the other way,in fact have them look at any 2018 LE sleds with those shocks,and they will see how it connects.Crap... thanks for catching that!

That's the point! The shocks are brand new! They were installed over the summer for this season.... so they have zero miles on them!How many miles do you have on them,the new shocks?
