Default Rolled h1

a friend rolled his h1 pretty bad.

crushed left side tire, bent steering knckle, caliper and both a-arms according to stealership. also bent both racks and handle bars.

we replaced all the parts today and atv still has camber issues on left front and we just noticed camber issue on right rear(nothing major and not our primary concern).

i am not seeing any way to adjust this. atv steering is really sensitive even with alignment done best we can with tie rods. but handles great at low speeds

top of tire is out, positive camber ???. any adjustable ball joints we can put in to remedy this , cut and reweld suspension mounts? kind of out of ideas here?

thing only has 100 miles on it 2009 model

did you check to see if the frame is bent? Awesome strong as they are, even AC frames can bend if you hit something hard enough to bend other parts of the suspension

I had my shock mounts on top bend just a little on my 500 and it took 2 yrs trying to get my atv to steer right. It would turn real fast to the right but not the left and the tire stuck out more on the top right side of the tire,kinda like you said. I finally jacked it up,took tires off,and literally stared at the frame and everything,matched the left side with the right the best i could with just my eyes,then i saw the mount slightly bent. I had to cut it and weld it back in place. it was back to normal after that. so look real hard at everything on the bike and compare.

just upper a-arm mount bent a little was enough to make it unridable. its all good now after a professional had a look and i think he cut and rewelded it
