Hi Folks,

I've been working on a 85 250sx. When I got it, I noticed that the one fork was bent, and the front wheel was turned out relative to the fork bridge.. OK, no big deal, I got 2 straight replacements. Put new seals in too.

So I go to bolt it up, and the front tire is still not straight with the handlebar bridge. :mad:No the axle is not bent.

It looks like it needs to be slightly tweaked, ie one top fork needs to go front and the other back slightly. I even swapped out the fork bridges thinking that was the issue.

Even turned the forks in the bridge to make sure that there was no difference......there was not.

What gives?????

Maybe the steering stem is twisted..just a thought.

Well I thought that, but that would cause a tilt in the wheel. I replaced the entire triple tree assy to see if that was it........nope.......
