tilted in some. Check a manual if you have access to one. Rule of thumb on a sport quad is the front portion of the front tires from center to center should be 1/2" closer than the back portion of the front tires. I usually use a couple of straps to make sure the steering wheel is perfectly centered.

Make sure the 1st side you do is straight first then come in about 1/4" then adjust the other side. I have seen people start with the first wheel out of whack then match the 2nd only to have a quad that goes left or right when the steering wheel is straight.
