ok i was out riding today and popped my rear tire with a huge nail... got it patched ect and saw that my front left tire was a lil lopsied... i wouldnt have noticed it unless i saw that the inline treads were wicked worn down than the right ones... when it is off of the gound (propped up so i can work on it) it seems to spin fine... and turn fine... didnt notice it when i was driving for like the 3 hr ride i rent on... but where i was most of the day was a rock quarry and the trails are all rock... not smoth like bumpy choppy rocks... i was going a little faster than i should have been (not super fast) just 3rd gear when i should have been in 2nd and but when its on the ground it is noticable lopsided...
HELP ME!!!!
CAN I KEEP RIDING IT BUT SUFFER THE FACT THAT MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL WILL BE GONE BEFORE MY RIGHT??what im worried about is riding one day down the road doing like 50-60 (yes mine does 60, i have clocked it next to a truck ) and have it wobble and give loose)
BTW: i ride trails hard not race (but i basically ride the trails like i was racing them)
PLEASE HELP ASAP!!
if you have any info you can call/text what ever i just need input ASAP!!
the tie rod needs adjusting, the front end alignment is off, i guess its not a real bad thing but it will make your handling a little crappy and it will wear that left tire out pretty quick. the tierod is what is hooked from the bottom of the steering stem to the wheels spindle, theres two tie rods one for each wheel, im assuming that the left tie rod is the one that needs adjusting, to pull that wheel in a little closer like the right wheel is, there easy to adjust just loosen the nuts on each end of the tie rod and spin the big long tube, spinning it one way will make it worse and spinning it the other way will bring it in.

standing in front of the quad i think spinning it towards the engine which is turning it right should bring the wheel inward, but im not really sure its one of those things to where id have to be there for my brain to work right lol, just pay attention when you spin it, if its going the wrong way then turn it the other way.

ya thanks man... i loosend up the nuts ON the tir rod ends and turned it... turns out that it just looked lopsided and it was just bulging out at one end...
there is no big long tute to spin
and on the tire end of the tie rod i can get it lose
what i meant by long tube was the piece thats inbetween the two nuts on the tie rod, once those nuts are loose you can spin the tire rod one way or the other to change the atvs toe-in toe-out.
