| Just curious if anyone knows what the fix for this is. Is it just shocks cause there are no adjustments on the rear knuckle like the fronts | |

| Could rear springs be "givin up" ? Do you have a heavy set up (rear seat or cage) ? | |

| I was thinking shocks also gonna get progressive hd's already have them on front and love them on the trails more bottoming out. No back seat but i did have the bed loaded for a trip we did last week. Thats when i first noticed it but even after unloading it and riding they still look bowed out | |

| I would lean towards springs being wore out. JBS has some springs in stock. There are some bushings that You should check first, but if they were bad, i don't think You could see the difference on the tires.
So, You like the progressive shocks much better than stock ? was thinking about a set for my rig. | |

| If they are leaned in at the top, it could be those rear knuckle bushings. Mine were wore some on my 450 when I traded it in. | |

| Was it just at the moment because sometimes mine are bowed out then after the heavy load is out I have to drive it to get it back up to full ground clearance. | |

| Jack it up under the frame, and grab a tire with one hand at the top and one at the bottom, push and pull to check for bushing slop. You will feel it and know if it's bushings wore. It will help if you have someone look for what it is while you shake the wheels. If everything feels tight, then it's most likely sagging shocks. | |

| Finally got to ride today. They look pretty good. Unfortunatly i rolled it, rt front tire dug in on some sand in a tight turn at speed. The wheel is leaning out and my steering is off. So im gonna try and adjust them tomarrow. On a positive note me and my friend were hanging by the 4point harnesses we had on helmets and no one got hurt | |
