150 PowerMax scooter. When I stopping and press my front brakes my front tire we'll jog to the right or jog to the left. What causes that. Then I have to restraint in it. Then the Tire will be straight and my handlebars OB off not straight. Then I will roll my scooter back and press the front brake then like spring back to normal. What causes that. For example say if I'm driving and I'm plying my brakes my front tire will stay straight but my handlebars will shift. I have my handlebars securely bolted to top of forks and I also have a couple little welds on there. So the handlebars is secure. It has to do with the lower part of the forks. Does anybody have any experience with this?

there is a little spacer that goes on the neck tube nut without it you cannot fully clamp the handle bars. Is the spacer in place?

That could have been catastrophic. It's not easy to inspect the triple trees on most scooters.
