Hard lesson learned. Never loan out your ATV unless you don’t mind it getting trashed out. What exactly happened to it? Did the individual roll it upside down or tumble it down a hill? Did he drive it into a large fixed object? Have you personally seen/rode the ATV since the incident or are you taking the word of the guy who crashed it, that it pulls hard to the right? First and foremost you’ll have to get it thawed out and put it on a flat, level surface and take a visual look at the front end. Maybe this individual simply blew the right front tire off the bead, causing it to pull to the right. (You could only hope to be so lucky!) A lot of times a quick visual inspection can reveal the problem. You should be able to see a bent a-arm or tie rod without taking any measurements. If nothing is obvious, look closely where the a-arms attach to the main frame. If something is tweaked with the frame, the paint may be cracked away in that area showing that it’s been stressed and bent. Good luck with your findings.
