after installing new shocks i suddenly have a low speed front end wobble.

after installing new shocks i suddenly have a low speed front end wobble.

Im not at all unfamiliar with trikes especially my own since i built it myself.

seems odd i suddenly get head shake?

Can anyone tell me if someone makes a steering stabilizer for a 1989 Tour glide ultra- champion kit?

It already has a raked tree and my neck bearings are set tighter than factory so those suggestions have been checked.

just want to know about a stabilizer for this old of bike?

Paul.....Did you remove the rear wheels to put the shocks on..??..

 

[pcombe]

yes, they were removed

 

[rhino 2]

yes, they were removed

Just a shot in the dark were the wheels

Put back on the same side they were originally on before the wobble....Wheel weights all on where they belong...

And were the log nuts cross tighten properly ..Ie wheels flat on the mounts not slightly cocked ..:Shrug:..

Checked that, All is right.

If all you did was change shocks, it about has to be something like rear height change changing trail. Shocks have springs?

Were tire pressures changed? Harder tires like with more psi can make a trike more sensitive to off side bumps, dips, etc that try to pull the trike left or right.

Perhaps the front tire is cupped from the previous worn out shocks.

Not likly as i run as rear tire the exact same size as my front tir mounted backward rotation, these tires last 20.000 miles easily. abit rougher ride but not that noticeable.

been doing it for many years with fantastic results.
