My dad and i were arguing about wether or not the front wheels on a sport quad were seposed to go slightly in. Well, i saidd no, he said yes. He then took a bubble to it, and he and i saw it was slightly tilted inward, and he tested my brothers 03 warrior too. is this seposed to be like that?

When you sit on it, the a-arms should go down and pretty much straighten out the wheels. Check that.

Your shock valving will determine how low your front end sits, and the angle of the a arms. Stock a arms are typically not camber adjustable so however it sits is how its supposed to be unless you have some bent hardware.

Many people lean the tops of the front tires in for better turning ability on the mx and xc tracks.

the top part of your tire should tilt in slightly, its called negative camber....if it tilted out it would be positive camber...

in order to get proper handling and turning, you need to have slight negative camber...
