Polaris front end wobble
LOL nope the wheels on mine were straight as an arrow. And mine was an 03.
Ya the wheels should be toed in a little, but not a lot. And if the bars are a little off center, I would look for a bent steering arm, or bent steering stem. If the bike was ever rolled that would be the first to bend (the stem)........ from personal expiriance LOL

Now when you say just a little but not alot are you talking a couple degrees or like 10 degrees? i realize im not dealing with a 1/10th scale unit like my r/c cars but i dont wanna over do-it and have the roadgrader effect goin on, i just want it to be safe as we ride our quads on the streets here in sioux falls SD, yep and its legal, plated and everything. My wife rides it as well and i want her to be safe on it as well.
Thank You all for your input on this.
P.S. My spedo only goes to 60, how fast is this thing really?

I had to do a big job replacing A Frames 2 years back and I seem to remember it was 1/8 inch toe OUT between front and rear of front tyres [it is all in the manual, so dont quote me on that]
But these things are not really designed to run on "solid" surfaces so if you run on roads that could be the problem
Where I live now I am 300 yards from the beach and the first 100 yards is bitumen and for sure it never likes that even at very low speed [to not offend the happy little campers] and there is a big difference once I get onto grass and then sand
maybe if only riding on roads you need different angle
I was looking at the new Polaris at the dealer some time back and the new one was 18 grand or something but I remember there was a lever or switch to say road/grass/sand but no idea what it adjusted - anyone know?

that lever that says road/grass/sand adjusts the rear differential- grass, its completely unlocked, road? probably limited slip, sand- probably locked
18grand for a quad????? thats rediculous that better be yen or something, it cant be canadian, USD or british pounds or euros, thats just TOO much MONEY

Dont remember what kind of tires they are but they are DOT approved street tires, i have ridden it about 100 miles since i got it and the wobble seems to be going away, the tires were brand new on it when i got it so im thinkin the tires just had to be worn a bit to the setup, i will keep checkin on this situation and keep yall updated, i love riding on the street, nice to get my face in the wind again after becoming paralized ya know.
Thanx again guys!
and 18k for a quad???? must be gold plated hahahaha
