NOTE:-Check wheel bearings and ball joints for wear & measure from inside rear rim to handlebar tip until even on both sides before alignment (make square)
Have just spent 3 days on HONDA 500 Foreman that has been into ditch that needed a front alignment (TOE IN )and camber (front tilt angle) setting .
The Quad had a tendency to want to tip when turning a hard right (had an inward tilt on bottom) which was assessed as a bent frame and we plan to get A bottom a frame and cut both sides and insert some neatly fitting round and fit to bottom right then adjust the bottom of wheel out until it matches the left wheel tilt exactly then tack with a welder,check and weld permanently
Alignment was done by placing a straight edge accross rear wheel and loosen tie rods on both ends on both sides and adjusting the gap at the front of each front wheel to about 1/4"-1/2" but even on both sides
