Did you recently adjust your chain? Could have the axle carrier off a little.

I'd bet that is the problem

Bad front or rear wheel bearings. Brake shoes dragging. How do the neck bearings feel? Rear bearing carrier out of adjustment. Rear tire pressures.

k, cool guys, i'll try out the adjustment stuff, and then the rear tires.

here's what i see the trike seems to lean to the right slightly. the rear tires are the same, but the left side is slightly taller for some reason. i even lowered the pressire in the left to about 75% of what is in the right and it still is leaning. i think maybe yea it could be the rears need to be replaced. :/ the left has dryrot but the right looks nearly perfect. DANG IT! i thougth this could be an isuse. :(

don't always rely on air pressure, use a fabric measuring tape and check the "rollout" of the tire. If you need to run different pressure to obtain the same diameter of tire, then do it. Tire pull gonzo :D

hehe, yea i'm going to have to do that. i think the left tire is weaker and thus swollen up more. anyone have a good rear they wanna sell cheap? :D
