I hope I can articulate the question and my issue properly. So bare with me please! My machine is a 2015 Outlander 650 MAX XT. I want to put strut/spring spacers on the rear struts. Purchased the CFM Performance 1" aluminum spacers. Now there is only a small cam fer (taper) on the inside of these spacers. NO RECESS FOR A SPRING TO SEAT. The top of the struts (stock set up) has the 2 washer locking system that in effect keeps the spring "centered" while the bottom has the std. cam adjustment(which is flat). Now the spring is of a smaller diameter at the bottom so that this smaller diameter keeps the spring centered as well (on shock). My question is this. Normally a spacer would go on the top, but if I did this the spring would have nothing to stop it from moving around (spacer would be on the inside of the top washers) but the spring would be free to move around the spacer. MFG website indicates they are to be installed at the top (washer).
So my thought was to install the spacer against the bottom cam lock tension adjustment. That way the top would be to inside of the washer/lock. What do you think ? Sorry for the lengthy explanation. I’d ask the MFG but they have no email or phone number listed. Convenient
