I was riding my rancher in a swamp yesterday. I was riding the mud. When i was done, i went to leave the swamp and get back on the trail. I was driving through some tall grass when all of a sudden i saw a rock directly in front of me. I jammed on the brakes but it was too late. I hit the rock on the right side of the skid plate, and was stopped dead in my tracks. I was only in 2nd gear. It dented the skid plate pretty good. To make a long story short, the wheels arent straight. When the steering is straight, the left wheel points forward, but the right wheel is slighty pointing right( some thing like ..|/ that) Its also a quarter inch further back then the left wheel. Is this repairable??????????? Can i get it fixed under warranty??? Its only 2 months old.Can i repair it myself, if so how??? I remember reading a post about rancher wheel alighnment, but i couldnt find it
Please help me

I have a front end alignment procedure on my web site (link below ) on the Tech Tips page.
Sounds to me like you may have bent something so you'll have to replace any bent or broken parts first.

Check out BigRed alignment procedure, it works. This procedure has been used twice, once after the wheels were 1/2 out of alignment. Kissing rocks & stumps is not much fun!
