    My front wheel seems to twist in the forks real easy even while riding. Granted there is a lot of roots and whoops but it seems a\like it moves awfully easy. Clamps are tightened down as much as i am comfortable with . amost 18- 20 lbs torqued. axle tight. anything internal??

    How about steering stem nut? Is it tight? I have to check mine every once in a while. Seems to loosen up from time to time...

    Yes points off to one side or the other and i have to get off and kick it back to approximate centerline.

    Sounds to me like a steering stem problem. If you over tighten the lower triple clamp pinch bolts it will cause internal wear in your forks. I usually tighten the lower triple clamp pinch bolts to 1/2 the specified torque.
