Well I was looking at my 400 yesterday and saw that my tire was sitting a little cocked to one side and thought it was weird. So my buddy picked up the front end and I grabbed the tire and I can shake it about an 1" to each side. I don't really know what it is or could be so anyone have a guess? my guess is the tie rod end the bushing or whatever on the end went bad. But I'm not all that mechanically inclined to be able to guess what the deal is. So anyone that thinks they may have it can chime in. :( :)

1. take the wheel off
2.take the hub off
3.replace bearings
4.put hub on
5.put wheel on.

you might also have to replace the seals too, remember 2 bearings and two seals per side.

Well as much as a dumbass as I feel I will say what it was. It was late last night around 10pm when I discovered this problem and never looked into it any further. Well I was going up north to ride today and I figured I better check it out to make sure nothing major was broken/bent/loose and well the nut on the tie rod end was loose. I re-ajusted the tie rod and tightened the nut and all is good.
