does anyone know if they make a rebuilding kit for the rear shock on the scrambler 500's???

 

I think Polaris offers a kit., but it requires a bunch of special tools. AZ Bad Boyz rebuilds them, you can also send it Works Performance or PEP to have it rebuilt

 

ok thanks. is that what you did with yours? if so, about what are their prices on it?

and for the special tools, i own enough tools to rebuild any engine from a quad to a peterbuilt, but yea your probably right. and i dont feel like going broke just buying tools that im only going to use once.

 

i have mine being rebuilt right now for a 2000 scrambler at the dealer. It is $80 for the rebuild kit and $30 to recharge the nitrogen and $55 for labor for a total of $173 with taxes. A new fox shock replacement was $320 and a new works shock is about $500. So i got mine rebuilt. I took off the shock and brought it to the dealer. I does take a lot of special tools to do it. The dealer even had to order a tool for that year shock and its a large dealer.

 

I never rebuilt it, I just seen it in the back of the service manual. Some of the tools you could probably build yourself or rig somehow, instead of buying a expensive tool. Az Bads Boyz website says $60 dollars to rebuild to stock or your specs. Of course you probably have $60 dollars in shipping both ways.

 

ofcouse the scrambler 2000 shock is differnt than the newer scramblers. The older scramblers had a piggyback on it and the newer 500 shocks dont so the newer ones will be cheaper to rebuild.

 

the 02 and 03 Scramblers have piggybacks to. The 04 and after Scramblers don't have piggybacks and arne't even Fox shocks. Polaris got cheap after 04.
