angled tire?

[MRPoopie]

i have a kfx400 and the bottom of the tire is angled in on the left side ( | \ Kinda like that )and i cant find out why it is the a arms dont look bent and i had the front tire of and the spidle doesnt look bent same as the frame

the brakes dont rub so i dont think its the spindle

the previous owner must have rolled it cause the rim was bent also


Thanks,
Clayton

hey, actually the frame/l aframes look a little tweeked.

is the shock on a different setting on that side?

[MRPoopie]

nope shocks the same setting and im not sure about the frame

[DeePa]

different tire sizes?

[MRPoopie]

they are different tires for now one stock and the other a razar but it is angled to much to be the tires you cant really tell from the pics but it is enough to notice and throw off my steering

[okieRrider]

by looking at your bars being bent on that side.....i bet somethings out a whack

[MRPoopie]

i bent the bars lol i havent got around to replacing them yet
but when the bars were good it still looks the same

i was doing like 25-30 MPH in reverse
and next thing i knew i hit the floor and rolled it but the tire was like that when i got it

hey, it only takes a few mm off to look like that. I bought a 24" dial caliper to check things like that.

Lift the front end off the ground and measure the distance between the a arms up and down. I bet you will find one a arm is a little tweeked.

What a great time to buy a long travel suspension system.

From the pic I can definately see the upper Ball Joint is angled and has some tension on it. Either the Upper A-arm has a tweak in it right there before the end, or the ball joint shaft could be bent, they are very easy to bend if hit right, I had to cut one off a quad w/ a saw cuz it was so bent and wouldn't come out. OR MAYBE I'M JUST OFF. Swap the tires on the front to the other side and see if that angle transfers over, I doubt the rim could be bent bad enough for that, does it wobble ?

[MRPoopie]

are the a arms interchangeable from the left to the right and visa versa

hey, that's a negative. Quads aren't quite that simple.

[devildog_0431]

I looked at my rim today, it's angled just like urs, my rim is bent though from a roll on the road, i think u just have a bent rim like me....my wobbles quite a bit.

The only way you can change camber is by a-arm length, which means you either have a bent a-arm, or a bent frame. Shock length and settings will not change camber on a double a-arm system.

the spindal could also be bent.

i built my lt250r from parts and when i got it all together one of the spindals was bent causeing one wheel to stick out on the top. changed out the spindal and the wheel was staight up and down.

did your brakes rub with a bent spindle? mine dont really rub all that much so i dont think its a spindle

your razor tire looks a little taller than the stock one, try to air them down/up to get the heights the same and then look at it, diff size tires can do this.
