Is it leaning top to bottom or side to side?

its leaning outward from the bottom. so if you were sitting on my 4 wheller and looked down, than the RIGHT tire would looked bowed out

You have too much postitive camber (\ /)! Adjust the upper ball joint in or the lower ball joint out to get it to 3 degrees of negative camber (/ \). Then set the toe in to 1/4"(+-). Do all of this while sitting on the bike so it is set up for your weight.

You need to give your front end an alignment. Don't expect to replace your entire front end and everything be perfect. Bolting it up is easy now you have to measure and adjust your ball joints and tie rod ends..

are they also caster adjustable. if so that wil lmake it hard to turn if ther is too much caster in them.
