Default Tweeked front end. Help!

Was cruising and hit a wall. Tire is all tweeked on the passenger side. Did I bend something, or can I just adjust something?

Check the s shaped bracket (knuckle arm) that the tie rod connects to.

Found the problem.

The cart is a 2015. Was told it has a 3" jakes lift. Can I just buy this part?

Contact Jakes or one of their vendors. If you can't buy one separate, you may be able to get someone local, such as a machine shop, to make one.

Or bend it back if you can, repaint, if its just a plate. You will have to re-align it.

Here's the piece that's bent.

what's it called? Is it a Yamaha part or part of the jakes lift kit? If a Yamaha part where's the best place to order one quick?
