I bought a Grizzly 600 4x4 auto from an auction today, and have ridden an ATv once-years ago.
I am not mechanically savvy-but I learn quick. Long story short, It starts and runs well, but the right front wheel cants in, and I need to know what to replace/ adjust to fix this. 
My neighbor also suggests I change all the fluids, as it likely has sat a while... also how do I gauge what it is worth/age/model?

Give me the vin number and I can give you the year and model. Hard to tell from the pic what is out of adjustment or bent but looking at the missing paint from the lower a arm I'm leaning bent.
Edit to add: when you get the year then click the parts link on this site to look up the parts you need. Yamaha parts and accessories |

There should be an ID tag or Serieal # tag on the frame somewhere. On my Honda it's on the front of the frame behind one of the front tires. It's been a while since I've looked at a Yamaha, you might pull off the seat cover and find the serial # on the frame there. It will generally have the year of manufacture also on the tag.
If it is an automatic the manufacture used to say Not using synthetic lubes because it would cause the transmission to slip. Find out the right oil first it's cheaper to use the right oil than replace a set of clutches and bands. Also call a dealer and see if you can buy a factory service book on it or look on-line for a service and repair book. |

Stating the obvious here, but the front edge of the lower a-arm has taken a beating and I'm guessing it's bent backwards, which pushed the bottom of the wheel out. You can verify by doing some measurements from the back to front on both left and right sides. For example, measure from the middle of the rear wheel to the middle of the front wheel on the left and right sides and compare your measurements. |
