My trike leans to the right when I drive it. Coupled with the road crown it really feels awkward. I have replaced the rear shocks but there was no improvement. Suggestions?

Little more explanation but if the road has a crown and one of your rear wheels is riding off the crown of course it will be leaning to that low side nothing you can do about that. It does not have independent suspension it has a straight axle.
If your riding on level ground and the front is tilted then it is your front right shock that is weak.

Ah, ok. It does lean when it is in the garage (flat and level) What does this require to correct?

BadCat, what leans can you take a picture of it leaning while in the garage So I can see what the problem can be.

I am interested as well. Did something happen before you noticed the lean? (you run over something hit a curb,ect.)
Are rear tires inflated properly and of the same size? swing arm bolt and bushings ok? Any unusual noises in the rear end while riding? Photo's would be a help.

Thanks everyone! The tires are visually filled the same, certainly not low enough to cause this lean. I will have to wait until my son gets home. But first... We have to go rescue this Craigslist freebee!!!  |

Hahaha! It's actually my screen name from the Jag forum. It turns out to be a 2009 Genuine Scooter Company Roughhouse 50 2 stroke on/off road scooter! We can't get it to start but does turn over and has spark. It has a couple scrapes and scratches, but in good overall condition.

Are we going to get pictures of the LEANING TRIKE Alleyoop Sorry, got involved with some family matters. We are pretty sure it is the front swing arm pivot bolt. It must have sheared off at one end. |

Alley the ACE did not come with an independent rear suspension. Only the 300s.
