I am trying to help a kid with his 02 Big bear 350 2wd. Model and year are per him. It pulls very hard to the right when driving. The left front tire is more worn then the right side. Would the ball joint cause this to happen? I will be seeing the bike for the 1st time tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

 

Yes it could be the ball joints worn or something bent on the front end or the tie rods are out of adjustment or as simple as incorrect tire pressures.

 

i agree. it could also be a sticking front brake as well.

 

The brakes are free, I can't find anything bent and the tires have barley any wiggle up and down when it's jacked up. The front left tire is worn across the middle badly compared to the right. When you take off the bike darts to the right. You have to fight it to keep it straight.

Thanks for the help.

 

the psi is probably off on either the front right or rear right tire. u should check them

 

I would check the alignment of the front tires and adjust the tie rods as needed. Double check the tie rods to make sure they are not bent and as mentioned above, make sure the tire pressure is the same.
