Default eiger camber

New to forum but need help.I just changed flywheel on my 2004 Eiger,magnets came off.Now I noticed that the left front wheel tips in at the bottom or at least it looks that way the right side seems to be straight up and down.Anyway how do I check this and is there adjustments that can be made? I see toe in can be adjusted with the tie rods but that's the only adjustment I can see. I don't see anything bent and I believe the manual says 3 degrees camber, just what is camber please help thanks

Welcome to the forums.
Camber::
The camber angle identifies how far the tire slants away from vertical when viewed directly from the front or back of the vehicle. Camber is expressed in degrees, and is said to be negative when the top of the tire tilts inward toward the center of the vehicle and positive when the top leans away from the center of the vehicle.

I found that. Hope that helps.

How much tilt are we talking? Camber should be spec'd to 0.3 so should be basically neutral. More importantly, what does the left front wheel look like when you have a rider on the quad? Does it still look off? IF so, it still might correct itself when you get up to speed. I'd be on the lookout for uneven tire wear on that left front wheel but until then, unless there is an obvious tilt (from the sounds of it, even your eyeballing it, you're in doubt), I wouldn't worry too much.

you likely have to adjust your shock up a bit by turning a big nut that requires a special tool to turn
