Ok, so after reading a little bit about all the bent subframes, I am wondering if mine is bent. Last year after my last ride i noticed that my front bumber was not centered and I thought nothing of it but then I noticed that it was turing unusually hard (not real hard just enough to notice it) although I never thought anything of it until today when I was reading about all the bent subframes on here. Unfortunatly my sled is not at my house right now, so I cant post pics or anything, so when I get it back what should I look for and are these signs of a bent subframe or something else.
thanks
 
Look at the thin steel plate that's welded across the bottom tubes.
If it is buckled or wrinkled your sub-frame is tweaked.
 
Shocks should be somewhat centered between the upper A arms. If one of the shocks is quite close to hitting the upper A arm, the frame is likely bent.

Check your ski alignment, should be toed out about 1/4 inch.

Compare the vertical alignment of the ski spindles with each other. There shouldn't be a difference between the two.

Jack up the front of the sled so skis aren't touching the ground. Try a full sweep of the handlebars to see if there is any binding.
 
yes it's bent - they are all bent.
