Problem with raptor front wheels
This summer I bought some ITP sandstar front tires and +2 offset rims. They steered very well and improved stability, however they rode like crap! They nearly jerked my arms out of my sockets, and shook everything so bad that my pipe fell off after about 45 minutes. I assume that the offset threw off my alignment someway. How should I go about fixing this?

first off you need to check whether the bearing is out or not. lift the front end and spin the wheels and look for a problem there. if no problem, then lower back down and compress the suspension several times and then check the toe-in.
toe-in is how much the tires are pointed in or out in at the front end of the quad. Typically, you want 0 to 1/8th of an inch toe-in which means if you were sitting at the front of the quad and you were to measure the frontmost part of the front tires then the back of the front tires, the measurement on the front side would be 0 to 1/8th of an inch shorter.
not sure if that explains it, but it's late and i can't see straight let alone explain. Lonestar Racing has a good article in the tech section on setting up the alignment.
