Recently I flipped on its left side my eps grizzly in the snow, resulted with a crooked steering, my left handlebar ended up buried. Not a brutal crash but it was enough to cause damage.

With wheels pointing straight forward my handlebars were pointing to the left.

I replaced the steering column to eps joint, which had twisted. Aligned my new joint on the eps shaft as described in the factory manual, installed the steering column (grooved so you cannot fit it wrong) , centered it and started aligning the wheels only to notice something is still off;

With handlebars centered , looking from under the machine I notice the pitman arm is off to one side, if I center the pitman my handlebars are off to one side. If measure the center point on the eps shaft with the pitman straight it will appear equal on both sides , if I re measure it with the steering straight, it will be off less than 1/4 inch to one side.

Now, I really suspect having also twisted the steering column (even tough at quick glance it seemed straight enough) , but I want to make sure I make the right call since its a 100$ part here in Quebec..

I will try tomorrow to take a few more measurements at the pitman arm front and sides where tie rods connect to make sure…I am trying not to remove it for fun since its really tight fit and at 150ft pound of torque it will be a b*tch to remove…

Any input?

Thanks!!
