Default whats wrong with this pic? yfz450 alignment

Ok, I had +2 a arms on this quad I sold them and I put stock a arms on it now this is what is looks like. The tire on the right is leaning in at the top bad. how do I fix this or what do I look for that might be bent? Ive looked at the arms and spindles and they look fine. There is no adjustment on the arms. its on a 06 yfz450.
thanks

Aren't you running a long travel shock with a-arms that are standard length?

If those shocks are valved and sprung for the +2 arms then they aren't compressing enough to allow the arms to lay lower. If they will lay lower then the top of the tire will move outward more.

I'm not saying that this will fix your problem.....

I would set the front shocks preload way softer. Lossen up the retainer ring and screw it up reared the shock top. Looks way high, that will lower it.
