Also After looking at my forks, there are two little holes, that are like above these ring like things that have a hose connecting one to the other tube...i believe thats where my air is leaking from the little metal rings..How do i fix that..
O-rings or teflon tape depending on what it uses to seal up. I am not familiar with your model, but it may have a schrader valve core that needs replaced.
As for the bearings, if you know someone with a welder and they can weld a bead on the inside of the frame race and when it cools it will tap out easily. As for the race on your triples, it can be pressed off or tapped of carefully. Some use a dremel to cut through most of the way and then split it with a punch. If you have a torch you can heat the race and that will help it to fall off.

You are correct in the function of that tube; it equalizes the pressure between the shocks. However, I don't think this is causing your issue. I would guess that some of the other suggestions already made are more likely. Namely, bad bearings, or bad alignment.
I'd check your bearings ASAP and then worry about your shocks.
With your shocks, just check the nearest parts store for air shock stuff, even for cars. I'd bet that it's pretty easy for you to find line, connectors, and o-rings for it. One can hope, at least.:laugh:
Good luck!

that is because you have air forks and it distributes air to each fork.
when you lowered the the front you put those two little hole out of the seals so no air will stay in.
and if you use an air compressor you probably blew the fork seals you need to use an hand pump.
