Ok I was flying down a grabel road showing off in 6th gear wide open.The road turned to the left and down a hill and i tried sliding it around the corner but it didnt work too well and i lost control in the rocks and slid into the dirt bank off the side of the road.I went over the handlebars and landed on the road and flipped a few times.But im worried about my Warrior.When i got back on i thought everything was alright til i tried to go forward.The quad went to the right.I straightened the handlebars so they were pointing exactly forward and my right front wheel is turned out to the right.The one that hit the bank.I thought maybe i bent the tie-rod or something but that wouldnt make the wheel turn out would it?I dunno!Can somebody give me some info please?Thanks in advance!

O.k. man, check your rims if bent, 'cause I've bent my rims before and that could be a problem. Do they wobble, that is what you want to ask your self. Then check the a-arms, frame, spindle, hub, and tie-rod.

Warning: The following post contains humor. Parental descretion is advised***

man sorry to hear that, glad ur alright. You might want to get back out on the same road in the opposite direction and slam into it with the other side of the quad. These things have a way of working themselves out.

If the tie-rod is not bent check the ear on the spindle. I have bent that in a similar (very similar) situation on a 92 Warrior. A little heat and pry bar fixed it. Just realign and go. Can you say dejavu.

Thanks for the info. I think ill go check the tie-rod and the hub and the spindle like you all said.I havent really had a chance to look at it too close yet.Id say its probably the hub or spindle though cuz the whole rim and tire is pointed outwards so seems like it would be one of the two.Well ill let yall know what i find out.Later and thanks again!
