Rear Suspension Shock for Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000 Mountain Cat 2000

Rear Suspension Shock for Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000 and Mountain Cat

This rear suspension shock is a direct replacement component for the rear skid of Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000 and Mountain Cat 2000 snowmobiles, engineered to restore consistent damping control to the rear arm.

Overview

This rear suspension shock is built to replace a worn or blown unit on Arctic Cat Thundercat 1000 and Mountain Cat 2000 models.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this shock fit my Thundercat 1000 without modification? A: It is designed as a direct replacement for the rear suspension position on Thundercat 1000 and Mountain Cat 2000 models, but you should verify your machine's year and serial number before ordering.

Q: How do I know if my rear shock needs replacing? A: Common signs include oil weeping around the shaft, a bouncy or bottoming rear skid, and visible seal damage. If any of these appear, replacing the shock restores proper damping.

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