Hi Guys, my 2016 P700-4 hasn't been driving or handling any differently, but today I noticed a SIGNIFICANT lean/camber/caster/whatever when the steering wheel is turned to the extreme left/right. I have jacked it up, looked for damage, and can't see any. I have given the wheel a shake in case it was a bearing issue, and everything is tight and looks and feels good. Please help!? should I be concerned? is it possible that this is normal and I have never noticed?! last picture was recently taken to show how the wheels sit when the wheel is straight.

thanks

Here’s a ‘17 stock. It’s on the floor. Are you checking that jacked up? That’ll change the camber a little. I can’t tell by pics. If everything checks out underneath(control arms, tie rods, bearings, etc) then you’re probably good. ;)

Thanks! Everything does look and feel solid, no obvious damage (I don't ride it all that hard, logging roads and to and from fishing holes) and for all I know its been cambering like that forever and I never noticed?
the pictures are of the Honda on the ground, not jacked up at all

That’s what it sounds like. Keep an eye on it and ride out. ;)

Pictures are not the best.

Is this the same view in person as the pics. I have seen cameras add to the effect.

Check to make sure the shocks are not drooping. If factory shocks. Check ground clearance unloaded vs factory specs. + adjustments for tires size.

Im sorry to say there is no real adjustment for anything other than toe.

I agree. Looks normal in the straight on shot, but there's something ( camera wise )off about the turned shots. Those aren't GoPro stills are they? Fisheye lense in those makes everything look wonky.
