wheel angles

I was wounderinn that when u turn the wheels all the way on a 400ex if the inside wheel should turn more than the other. U see i think is ort of mess it up when i hit a log sort of sideways an the wheels turned sideways. Notin looks bent but the one wheel turns more tan the the other

That's the ackerman effect. The inside wheel will turn sharper than the outside. If you draw an imaginary line through the top of the king pin and the tie rod end, it should point to the center of the rear axle. It has to do with the different radius each wheel is turning around.
Bottom line, don't worry about it, it's normal, and makes the quad/ car/ truck handle better.

There's also caster, camber, toe, steering axis inclination, offset and a bunch of other front end geometry going on.

I'll find some pics if ya want.

it's for Karts, but essentially the same for everything with 4 wheels.
