my brother rolled my quad down an embankment last summer, and i'm pretty sure he bent the frame. here's the situation.
when riding, my raptor pulls hard to the right, and i have to countersteer to keep a straight line. i checked the alignment and the toe is ok, but the camber is way out of wack. the right front tire has an almost straight up and down camber, while the left is 5/8" in at the top. i'm taking my measurements from the edge of the rim.
i don't see anything obviously bent. no paint cracks, nothing i can see. the mounts for the a-arms are not damaged, and i figured that would be the first crush point. the a-arms aren't bent, nor are the tie rod ends. the steering stem is straight and the pitman is centered on the bars. my only other thought would be the spindles or the ball-joints on the a-arms.
as far as i can tell the frame sits level. i used a level across multiple points along the bottom of the frame, as well as measuring the various ride heights. i'm kinda scratching my head trying to figure out what i need to do to repair the bike..
