Quad can turn very tightly to the left but very wide to the right.  On inspection, when turning right, the pitman arm hits the EPS controller - it doesn't when turning left.  The quad had been rolled (prior owner) and the steering was straightened.  I believe that the pitman arm is now slightly offset.  Can I disconnect the tie-rods from the pitman arm and then remove and reattach the pitman arm in a more centered position, and then reattach and adjust the tie-rods?  Or is the pitman arm not adjustable since there is a grove that it must align with on the EPS?  If not the method I suggest, how would a person fix the issue?  Would the entire steering system need to be taken apart and reassembled?

Thanks very much!

Phil.

      I Crashed My Quad
      Well the Way I Ride, some of you knew it was Inevitable.
      Below are Three Videos.
      First one is Slow Motion of How it Happens.
      Second one is Normal Speed, and what happens after the Accident.
      Third one Follows more of what happens after .

      I Was Riding By Myself. I was going through a Mud HOLE Either there was a log or a rock, or A Dip but just as I was almost through it, Machine, Rolled over on my right side, as soon as I contacted the ground, I Heard A SNAP! I got up, flipped the Quad back over. I had the wind knocked out of me.

      Help New to a Suzuki 2001 king quad 300
      By mmikesell
      First post here need some help/advice. I bought a 2001 king quad 300, vin number JSAAK43A212111871. I have been trying to do some basic maintenance as it runs but doesn't idle all that well . I want to take out and clean/repair the  carb but when looking for parts it ask for model X Y K1 K2. How do I know which model I have? I have tried some vin decoders but they haven't told me. If anyone could recommend a carb rebuild kit for my quad Id appreciate it. Also any tips on tracking down an owners manual?
