A big thank you to Lee H Mann for taking the time for talking me through trouble shooting on the phone. I am taking my trike to a trike builder tomorrow to have it fixed because it is over my head. Thanks again Jim, and thanks trike talk.

Update, it turned out to be the swing arm was really lose and through out of line. He said he has never seen that before and lined everything up and put red loc-tite on it.

Update, it turned out to be the trailing arm was really lose and through out of line. He said he has never seen that before and lined everything up and put red loc-tite on it.

All I can say is WOW! I hope that's a trouble free fix.

“Red” loc-tite? That’s the first I ever heard of that. Is it the same company or a competitor?

 

[howardg]

As far I know the red is stronger than the blue loc-tite

Some colors Loc-Tite are more permanent than others, some require heat to back off fastener, some just gum up the threads a bit so fasteners stay in place.

Loc-tite comes in many colors...White, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red....And a few others also.

Then theres Stick Loc-tite....And that uses numbers ...I used 268 stick for head bolts, And that is considered permanent...Once that sets up,The bolts will only come off with a torch or drilling..
