Hi I just noticed that my right tire (sitting on the quad) is titled in more then my left tire which is straight, it is not much but it is noticable, what can I check to see if anything is bent? I don't think it is but I am not sure. thanks

Hummmm. Maybe: frame bent, A arm bent. Most likely upper A arm bushings worn out.

Take measurmenst from various spots. So many things could be bent. Like from frame to ball joints, ball joints to eadge of rim, etc

Look for wrinkled paint on the frame. Check angles/spaces between frame tubes. Compair your left and right A arms. Lift the front end and see if the A arms wobble at the piviot pionts on the frame.
