<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the replies. I'm not referring to the motorcycle shocks on the front wheel. This is a single small shock in the rear just behind the engine. It seems to be used to dampen the the engine movement some from the frame. In order to install inside the present clamps it must be completely compressed then bolted in the compressed state. I can't make sense out of why this would be be but I can't get a replacement shock as it is discontinued and nothing else fits in the clamps. Even if I could it just seems wrong to me. Why would a shock be mounted compressed?

<div>Bruce,</div>
<div>Does the 93 have springs over the shocks?</div>
<div>I know my 96 does.</div>
<div>The replacement shock for it, I believe, is the same as a Polaris Sportsman
400L.</div>
<div>I think the springs are available in different stiffness and are the same
as the Polaris also.</div>
<div>Of course 2 are required for the Go-4’s. Oh, the shocks are adjustable
too.</div>
<div>My 96 is leaning to the right, so I’m going to replace both, springs
maybe.</div>
<div>Hope this helps,</div>

<div dir="ltr">I noticed the rear shock in the engine compartment on my 93' was
fully compressed so I took it out to replace. Of course it is not made anymore
but in trying to figure it out the shock itself seems fine but is fully
compressed when on the vehicle no matter if it were new or not! It would seem
like it would not work or do anything if installed in compressed state. Does
anybody know why? What would happen if I cut the bottom clamp down a bit,
drilled a new hole, and installed a different shock than the original that was
not compressed after install?<br clear="all">
