    Default OZ trike wobble

    Hi all, I recently bought a second hand 07 - OZ trike and road it from Derby back to Bunbury. Very happy with my first trike except for a horrible wobble in the steering when braking. Anybody out there got any ideas on how i can fix it. Have sent an email to OZ trike but haven't heard back from them yet. I cant find any OZ trike service agents in Perth / Bunbury.

    Cheers Paul

    Welcome aboard Paul and congrats on the purchase. Places to check is as BOB stated brake rotor, Steering head bearing nut (torque to around 40 lbs) wheel bearings but I think you would hear a grinding noise. Possible the caliper bolts maybe loose. If this ONLY occurs when braking then thats where to start. Good luck.

    Paul. I'm from Coffs Harbour in NSW. Just a question regarding your OZ Trike. Who are you insured with? No one wants anything to do with me and my trike.

    Regards,
