trike guy i mistated bumper for wheel well.the tire didnt come off it shifted 4 inchs or so to the rear. supposedly there is a ladder connection which holds it in three places. im not a mechanic but before its repaired i want to do a visual and also inspect the other wheel.when i know exact issue i will post on trike talk same thread

Thanks - that makes sense now. I was thinking the lug nuts, but you are correct there is an arm connected to the differential.

We have a 2010 for the wife and I don't want her crashing. Am going to have the mechanic take a look.


Thanks again

welcome aboard gctrikeguy.

Yes I to now what he is talking about. The question now remains was it a bolt failure or did something come loose. Waiting for the details.
