What kind of rods are these? How do they work? I backed out the Allen screw and turned it but it doesn't seem to really do anything but spin.

Looks like Bender Hot Rods. Based on your pic (sled being upside down), they work like 03viperguy noted. When you turn the sled right side up ;)!, you would slide the blue collar down and turn a full 360deg. There should be a pin in the collar that positively locates in a hole in the washer plate welded to the rod. Before you do any of that though, you may want to reinstall that Allen screw exactly how it was and hope it wasn't holding anything in position that has since moved. I recall a warning in the instructions about not moving or removing that screw, so I always assumed that it located something or held something in place that was very important.
 
I have the same ones but there is a grease fitting on it. I wonder if someone put it in thinking thats what is supposed to be there. Mine has no allen screw. Now after looking at pics, they are different.

I can't move the blue collar unless I loosen the screw, I they slide the collar back and turned it a few times but it didn't seem to do anything
 
Okay I got them figured out. One last question do I need to snug up the Allen screw every time or can I leave it loose enough where I can pull back the collar?image.jpg
 
That screw is supposed to be left in place, no reason to touch it. Locktite it in place and make sure that you can still slide and turn the collar to make adjustments thru the full range.
 
Thanks! The 01 SRX is ready for a trip up north this weekend while my 2015 ski-doo summit sits broken down at the dealer!
 
related. not getting enough transfer. front shock set at 80mm, soft. rear at 90 mm. soft. still not getting enough ski lift. straps are all the way out, ideas?
 
by the way, the set screw needs blue locktite, and should never be moved. it is a locator for each click. mine were loose from bender, and should be snug, then back off 1/4 turn so they don't drag.
