Rebuilt the proaction suspension, fixed front w arm welds and added gusset plates, new bushings and added adjustable transfer rods. Rods are currently adjusted all the way out for max transfer. (did little for weight transfer) Front limiter strap bolts are adjusted to 15mm. FRA is in middle position and did not bottom out.

Drove sled last night and it was very light in front but also loose in back. Should I adjust from limiter straps to put more pressure on ski's to tighten up steering? (owners manual suggests 25mm) Could the loose rear be contributed to the transfer rods being backed all the way out? Sled was a real handfull to control on groomed trails and hardpack.

Thanks for your help
 

for trail riding you need the transfer rods adjusted so theres very little space in the rods, otherwise you risk the problem you are having and also risk w arm failure, as this puts added pressure on it!
