When you look at front of my quad one side is higher than the other, it looks like one shock is taller than the other. Could one shock be blown?? Would it cause the quad to look like that. It doesnt handle right seems to be pulling to one side.

Thanks for any help

I got a kawasaki lakota, it has works dualrate shocks on it. I had to replace the knuckle on the front right side because I flipped it and ever since it hasnt handle right. If the frame is bent what is the best way to tell I mean what do I look for?? Thanks for the help sick

Thanks 300ex, I was thinking the same thing, I took a look at it last night pulled both tires off and put the bike on the lift and let the front end hang down, One side hanges lower than the other. Do you think the bushing in the a-arms are bad?? Would it cause one side to fall more than the other

Thanks for your help

It could be anyhting. But i would really take a look at your a-arms. and your frame might be tweaked just a little.
