shortening track

[skud stud]

I'm getting track chatter on my 97 670.I'm at the end of my track adjustment and have the suspension maxed out.Is there any way to get more out of this track? Is splicing an option?Thanks for any suggestions.

I am curious to the answer to this as I have the same problem with an old sled of my parents.

get an offset rear axle and a big wheel kit and this will fill up the loose track, but for the price of this stuff you are probably better off looking for a new track.

the answer is no.

move your skid back 1 inch.

run a larger rear wheel setup to eat more track and allow for more adjustment.

chances are if your maxed out and ratcheting your drivers are shot and should be replaced with quality aftermarket ones that will not do this.

what maxwell said hit it on the head there.

I have a spare track and drivers for the sled, I have never replaced a set before, is it a relatively easy job??

to get them out is a fairly easy job but replacing them is not as you need a press and the correct measurements. i always take my driveshaft to the local shop and they press the new ones on for 70$.

remember stock drivers even though they may be extro are not the greatest. id highly reccomend spending the money on some quality avids which will never wear out or ratchet

I have these on a parts machine, so i could just swap out hoping all measurements are the same. If all is the same should just swap easily? Also its an old sled that my parents use mostly around the farm and the occasional river ride so using the parts we already have would be our preferance.

 

[maxwell]

what sled

 

[jay007]

what sled

its on a 89 mach 1, so not worth extra cash but runs great, and we ve the parts if it isnt to tough to swap.

 

[maxwell]

ahh ya just swap them...or swap the whole driveshaft

Just a thought maybe the drive shaft bearings are shot
