I have a 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500 EFI, HO. A while back i was riding it and ended up running into a tree because of a rock in a water puddle i didnt see.. Well I had bent the frame a little, bent a-arm, broken bumper and right headlight. When i hit, the right front tire popped off the bead but when i put the tire back on the wheel and back onto the wheeler, i noticed that my camber was off pretty good. No adjustment for the camber only toe angle so i dont know what part in the front end could be bent or if this is a common issue. thank you for your input!

If the frame bent you may have a camber problem. Unless you get the frame straight. Take some measure ments pick a bolt or lug and go to something on the back of the unit. See if the right side is tweaked back also check the shock/ strut make sure it is now bent. Some pics would help
