When I rode my new to me quad today, it would pull hard to the right , and if I gassed it it would upset the steering. Bumps in the road would also make it want to pull one way. Are these symptoms of a bad alignment? I know it is bad, it is very clear that the left front is straight when the bars are straight and the right front points 5-10 degrees (I guess) to the right. Would that be far enough out of whack to cause these problems?

BTW, my ride today was on pavement because it has been raining here and it looks like I have drag slicks on the back of this thing. (getting new tires tomorrow.)

The guy I bought it from told me that it needed a new tie rod but it looks like I could adjust it back straight.

Thanks,
Joey

Replace the tie rod, should be about $8 or so at the dealer.
