Is it possible for one the adjusters to be mounted backwards? When looking at them dead on, it looks like one of them needs to be flipped 180 degrees to properly match the other one. It seems to affect spring tension even though both are set to medium. Springs angles aren't even close to being the same.
These are pics of AKrider's sled that are much easier to see than my ice encrusted parts. Mine are the same. Notice the notches in the plastic are on the trailing edge of one block and on the leading edge of the other block. Do I need to flip one of them 180 to create the same angle as the other side? or no? The only reason I ask, is because the mounting bolt is offset a bit, therefore I think they both need to be mounted the same direction. I looked at my buddy's arctic cat and his are, how I think they should be. Notches both towards the rear of the sled. Have a look at yours and tell me what you see for block position and the affect on spring tension.
additional pics or comments appreciated.

I think it the same part so when you use on the left and the right it appears different.
Flipping them around would have NO effect!

yes, I agree it is the same part, but they should be mirror of each other, otherwise your spring angle isn't the same. have a look at yours and tell me if you agree.08NitroRTX said:
It's the same angle.

The angle is the same. Just messure the distance from the bolt to where the spring is. The distance on right side M is the same as left side M etc.....

I also know guys that will run them on two different settigs bcause they like that ride better than both on M or both on H..
I feel even if they aren't exactly the same it itisn't an issue. THe rear skid really doesn't flex that much. The force that one side incounters the other side 'feels' too.
