Abstract

A mount for pivotally joining the steering ski of a snowmobile to an extendible-retractible movable tube of a strut-type suspension. The joinder is made by a pivot pin which extends laterally to, and is offset from, the movable tube. Preferably the tube is disposed at an angle to the vertical, and the pivot pin is behind the movable tube. The ski and pivot pin can be removably mounted to the end of the movable tube by a gusset which itself can be attached to and removed from, the movable tube.
