Rear Gas Shock for Polaris Indy 500 Centurion 1979-1982 Rear Suspension

Rear Gas Shock for Polaris Indy 500 and Centurion

This rear gas shock is a replacement unit for the rear suspension of Polaris Indy 500 and Centurion snowmobiles from 1979 through 1982, built to restore dampening and ride control on the rear skid.

Overview

This rear gas shock fits the rear suspension of the Polaris Indy 500 and Centurion from 1979 to 1982, delivering the dampening these vintage sleds need to ride smoothly. As a rear suspension component, it controls rebound and absorbs impacts so the track stays planted through bumps and corners. It is aimed at riders maintaining, repairing, or restoring an Indy 500 or Centurion rather than replacing the full skid.

Good To Know

Q: Will this rear gas shock fit both my Indy 500 and my Centurion? A: It is listed for 1979-1982 Indy 500 and Centurion rear suspension applications. Check your specific model year and skid before ordering.
