riding on pavement is a great way to ruin your carrier bearing quickly.

Swifty, I would still find out the toe specs and check it. What you are describing is sometimes called "steering dart" or simply "darting". This is when the quad wants to quickly dart from side to side. It can be caused by the toe not being IN far enough. Setting the toe IN further will help alleviate this.
