Default sportsman tires lean in?

I have a sportsman with 27X10 vamps on the front and 27X12 rear. The front lean in at the top like so / \.
I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. The front squats more than it did when it was new aswell???

There is only one way to fix that problem....you have to lift up the front end about 1/2-3/4 of an inch...it will put the macpherson struts at the right angle so the tires sit straight...i have found that this makes it easier to steer these big quads when the wheels sit straighter.

sorry...left this out...the cause for this is the front springs wear out...just slightly though... when they get more flexible they don't do there job right...they don't really wear out, they just break in
