alright all of you 2001 400ex owners I need some help my buddy has a 2001 400 and the right wheel has always looked like the camber or caster is way out. He took it to the dealer where he bought and they told him all the 2001's do this. They tried to put a ball joint on but the problem still is really noticeable especially when it's in my garage, if anyone one knows how to fix please let me know thank s for your help

yoyr quad may steer funny and fight itself due to the toe in seet in correctly. I believe that ever dealer is different. My personal preference is 1/8 to 1/4 inch toe in. This may help the steering problem one mentioned.
