Just picked up a 98 Polaris indy 500. There is a serious misalignment of the skis. The right trailing arm is bent, but I didnt think such a small bend could cause the ski to be so misaligned. Here are some pics. Will replacing the trailing arm bring the ski back to alignment?

Hard to tell from the pic but it looks like the arm that attaches the tie rod end on the top of the ski post has slipped on the splines .. I would try taking the bolt out and pull it off , straighten the ski and put it back where it should be.

Here is a good link to help with alignment.
