Hello all, I got in a wreck the other day and messed a few things up. One of them being the part of the steering stem where the tie rods attach. It looks like the left side is bent down a bit (not too terribly). I am able to align the Shee straight......can I run it like that or do I need to get another steering stem? Also the main point of my question as the topic says (should have started with this....scatter brain!) is that the limiter that is on the steering stem never touches the stopper part on the frame (sorry for not knowing the terminology properly). Honestly I don't know if it ever has (since I've owned it)! Is this a big deal or should I just align the Shee straight and let it run? Another part of the issue is that the front right spindle appears to be bent (closer to the rotor), however again I can still align the bastard straight.......should I replace or can I just run it? Any help on these issues would be great. I will try and post some pics for you to see, because I think somewhere in there on the right side I have a bent heim joint or something weird, maybe you guys can tell me since you have experience far greater than mine........the real kicker is, what if it's the left side that is bent because that's what I have to compare it too! J/K pretty sure it's the left side that's messed up. Much thanks for listening and in advance if you reply.
