whats up guys.. I ended up flipping backwards on the wheelie bar of an 09 raptor 350. It stood up straight and then landed hard on the left hand side. The back part of the front rim hit hard on the ground mostly toward the back near the ball joint. I got the quad upright and with the handle bars straight, the left tire is kicking left while the right side has a nice toe in like it should be. I took the tie rod off, the actual bar is straight as I rolled it on a flat surface and its fine, and both inner and outter look unbent as well. Wondering about the spindle. Its hard to tell with it on the quad and comparing it to the other side, but thats thick metal, it looks hard to believe that would bend before the tie rod end would. I dont want to adjust and make the correction on the rod when obviously something is bent. Any ideas or insight?

thanks

Be sure to check the bottom of the steering stem where the tie rods connect.
