Preston 0 Posted February 5, 2023 I have a 2006 forman 500 that the front right wheel is cambered out really bad. Does anyone know if you can adjust it? I looked and can’t find anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Do you have the service manual? Download it from the folder labeled “service manuals.” Check steering section. Toe in is adjustable but I don’t think camber is adjustable. Edited February 6, 2023 by Goober Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,725 Posted February 6, 2023 Welcome aboard. More than likely something is bent. I have a buddy's 06 in my yard now that has a hard pull to the right, and the top of his right front wheel is out compared to the bottom. He rolled his last year, and I'm pretty sure he tweaked his frame where the a-arms connect to the frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Preston 0 Posted February 6, 2023 That’s kinda what I was thinking too but it’s nothing noticeable 🤷🏻♂️ wasn’t like that when I got it. Doesn’t pull just looks bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlammedRanger 1,560 Posted February 6, 2023 Welcome aboard! Got any pictures? The 400ex's im used to working on are well known for being welded in the factory with jigs that werent set up right. Alot of them are noticably cambered from the factory on only one side. Almost all the aftermarket a-arm manufacturers have gone to replaceable upper and lower ball joints that are threaded so they can be adjusted compensate for this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Preston 0 Posted February 7, 2023 Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures on my phone right now but I’ll post some when I get home. Sounds like if I want to fix it I need to get some aftermarket A arms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With gncc racing branching out into utility quad racing there is a chance atleast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Co-Jack 2 Posted February 22 I was working on a Rubi recently, replacing ball joints, control arm bushings, wheel bearings and the such. Going back to together with the upper control arm and noticed the bolt hole in the rear frame mount was badly worn on one side. The single hole had worn to approximately a hole and a half. The wheel has a pretty good lean to the outside and I suspect that’s why. May check your frame mount and see if there is considerable wear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
