Hi I just noticed that my right tire (sitting on the quad) is titled in more then my left tire which is straight, it is not much but it is noticable, what can I check to see if anything is bent? I don't think it is but I am not sure. thanks

Check that both front shocks have the same amount of preload adjustment. If on is tighter, it could be lifting that side more than the other.

The only thing I can think of besides what reconranger said is that you may have crashed your Z and twisted the frame. The previous owner of my banshee did this and now I have that same problem.

Have you hit anything hard with that side??? Check the upper A-arm and the upper ball joint on that side. They might be bent.
Compare all angles on "All" A-arms side to side. take your time. Sometimes you can see that one has a different angle IE: bent.
