Good To Know

Q: Is this an original Arctic Cat part? A: No, it is an aftermarket replacement shock that cross-references OEM number 1704-863 and is not manufactured by Arctic Cat.

Q: Should I replace both rear shocks at once? A: If the other shock has similar mileage, replacing them together keeps damping balanced across the rear skid.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
