So the other day I hit a deep hole on my 08 sportsman 800 and i ended up bending a tie rod. The right side wheel was leaning to the inside while the other was straight. So here is where i need help....I replaced the tie rod and adjusted them for like a hour and i still cant get that wheel to straighten up. It is alot better than before but not where its suppost to be. I have looked and cant seem to see anything else that is damaged or bent......... Does anyone have any suggestions on what to check? I want to see if there is anything else i can do before i just give up and take it to the dealer and see how much they will charge me. Well i want to say thanks in advance and for the help everyone.

 

Whats out the toe or Camber?

 

so it the wheels not toe in or out correctly which its in the book on how to adjust and the amount its suppose to be.

 

check your a arms real close they can bend easily. by tires bend in do you meen top of teh tires bowing in or front or back? if the front is bent it they call that toe in and if you back is in they call that toe out.

 

yes i mean the top of the tire is what is leaning in, kinda how the tires lean on a dropped car or truck. Ill check the A arm, but they looked fine. If its still under waranty do you think they will take care of this for me?

Crashes are not covered under warranty but under your full coverage insurance.

 

if the top of the tires are bowing in then there is no adjustment except if you have weak front springs then you replace springs or put spacers in.
