Default How bad did I f$ck it up?

I have an 04 Yfz and I was trailriding goin about 25, I hit a little stump covered in leaves on the front a arm and flipped it. I picked it up and one wheel was farther back then the other and kind of bent out.So i adjusted the steering to straighten the wheels out but now i can turn very sharp right and not sharp at all the the left. do you think i just bent the swingarm, and how much do you think it will cost to fix it. thanx...peace$$$

No man, you just messed up your a arm. By adjusting your steering (tie rods) you only made it all line up again when the bars are strait on. Its still bent and it will always create problems no matter how much you adjust it. When you first crashed it I bet it was out of wack when you were strait on but would turn the same amount in each direction. By adjusting it and making it so its aligned when the bars are strait you didn’t fix the problem you just sent the problem else were. In this case it’s either when you turn to the left or turn to the right.

no man just like the other person said you probably bent the a arm. I would take a look on ebay i have been researching a arms and a full decent stock set can run anywhere from 450 to 600 dollars that is for a four though

yea it's no big deal at all. You can get a stock set of a-arms cheap on ebay, or... you can use this as an excuse to get extended a-arms, or even a long travel supsension. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
