Bent Steering Stem?

[05bansh]

So I wrecked last week. I was going too fast and cleared the downside of a dune, landing in the flat. I told some of you I bent my handle bars, dented my pipe, etc. But I noticed if you look at my wheels from the front (when the handle bars are straight) the left wheel is slightly toed out. I cant find anything wrong with the Tie rods, A-arms, ball joints, etc. The reason I think its the steering stem is after the wreck I noticed the bottom of the steering stem where the cotter pins go through started rubbing on my radiator hose when I would turn my handle bars. But when I look at the steering stem it looks fine. I need some opinions, does it sound like the steering stem or something else?

Sounds like the stem is a definate possibility, got any pictures you could post?

Sorry I havent got any pics up I havent had time. I am almost positive I need a new stem though. So what steering stem do you guys think would be better (and stronger of coarse) between the Lone Star 4130 Chromoly Steel or the Roll Design 17-4 Cast Stainless Steel? And also what is the point, and benifit of having a +1 extended steering stem?

I like the Janssen unit for the price. As for strength between the 2, it would be really hard to tell. The benefit of a plus 1 for most people is better reach and control of the quad while standing. Just make sure and get the anti-vibe system, they are awesome. Good luck on your decision.
