Eiger accident
Ok well me and my friend were riding on my 02 Eiger 4x4 beside the road one day and a DMV stoped me and told me to get on the other side on the ditch so I said ok then. Well I got up about 25mph in the ditch and the grass was kinda high so I dint see the cement "DRAIN PIPE"!!!!! Well I hit that damn thing so hard with the Left side of the ATV it busted my Front left Vampire and stalled the motor!! Well I looked at the suspension and everything and everything seemed alright except for the tire but it kept air for almost a week till it went completely flat because I dint ride it after it happened. Well it seems as if the ATV is leaning now. Picture a ATV with a front left flat tire and its leaning, well it looks like my ATV is leaning like that but with plenty of air in all the tires. Also when im riding if I turn the tires to the right theres a squilling noise almost like the brake pads are hitting the rotor a lil bit when i turn. Anybody have a clue as to what I have accomplished doing this? I mean I hit that drain pipe really hard, I just knew I was going to flip or the tire was going to come off.

Sounds like you bent up something more than you think but I bet you figured that allready.
I do not know much about the eiger but if you can post a couple pics I am sure I or someone else here (seems everyone likes threads with pics [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ) will help you out.
Try to take a close up or two also. Who know you may even see the problem when taking the pics.

I can bet that you bent the frame or the a arms...When I first got my Eiger I hit a huge rock that was on the trail I was riding and I bent the frame and the 2 left side control arms...I could tell that something was wrong when my tire was leaning in and back..I checked with the dealer I bought it from and they told me $2600 to fix it! I told them they were crazy so I took it to a guy I knew that was cetified to work on ATV's and worked at another dealer close to me. He was able to bend everything back in place and it only cost me $500 bucks! I know that when someone goes and bends stuff back in place it can make stuff weaker, but it's been a year now and so far so good...DO NOT let the dealer fix it, they will RIP you off big time!
