I know ICE now fit rubber covers over the rose joints to help keep the joints clean and cut down on wear.
Not sure when they started fitting then, but my first 'Q' didn't have then but my 'Sprint' now does.
If you get a lot of play then the tracking will probably be out and you'll wear one front tyre more than the other.
But it may take a few hundred miles before any excess tyre wear is noticeable.
So if both front tyres look the same, then you're probably still fine.
Thinking about it ...........
Just noticed a slight clunk in the steering on barakta's trike.
Does the steering feel there's a notch in it ??
Does the trike feel as though it's hunting for line around a corner ??
If so it could be one of the headsets could be too tight or there's muck in one.
So if my trike feels like that, I'll lessen the preloading on the headsets as see if that solves the problem.
If it does then it's either leave as is or strip the headsets down and check the state of the bearing.
Drop ICE an email about it.
Their aftermarket service is excellent and they'll soon get back to you about this.
