| Subject: | Re: Oil Filters and Strut banging |
You will have to accept my 2 RMB worth as I'm still in China. (6.7 RMB
to the dollar today, we are getting killed here!)
The nose gear noise (while taxiing) can range from snapping to
clanking to outright banging depending on the condition and adjustment
of your nose gear. You are correct, it can come from the nose gear
oleo extending and hitting the stops, but I would think that if this
is a constant situation you might check the pressure as this is
really not normal if the pressure is correct, unless the taxiway is
real rough.
However, if the length of the actuator ram is incorrect it can cause
the nose gear to actually pop in and out of "over center" causing a
snapping/clunking noise, and a dangerous condition should you run up
against something solid enough to fold up the nose gear. This rarely
happens when taxiing on a hard surface, but nose gears have been known
to fold when pushing the aircraft up a incline backwards with a tug,
which seems to indicate that pressure aft can cause the nose gear to
fold. Check your manual for proper over center specs. and adjustment
procedures. Also if the bearing in the upper end lug of the nose
gear actuator is loose, this can cause a noise also. We have found
many of these end lugs which were so soft that the hole for the
bearing had stretched to a egg shape allowing the bearing to slop up
and down every time the nose gear rolled over a seam in the taxi way.
We have a 4140 steel end lug to solve this problem. Last, there are
two large bronze bushings in the top of the nose gear, if these are
badly worn they will cause both difficulty in steering and a clunking
noise when taxiing.
Best from Nanchang, They are playing Jingle Bells in the lobby of the
hotel, photo's of Chinese Santa's all over the place......very
strange, Buddhists celebrating Christmas, how does that work?
Always Yakin,
Doug

Well, actually Lakeland. First had to sweep off 8 inches of sunshine off the hanger
pad and then taxi out. Check list complete, call tower, canopy full back
in 82 degree sunshine, sunglasses set and away. Paid for this though, cost a whopping
$2.75/gallon of 100LL. Back at the ranch, took my live-in GIB for fresh
strawberry and shortcake... and jeez, now it's Happy Hour already.
Hmmm, maybe this is why I retired to Florida.

At least him saving to have not to pay for his lunch, got him to buy his

Lets see... Woke up Sunday morning to 51 degree weather. By 10:00am it was down
to 24. By 5:00 it was down to 11. Yesterday our high was 3 degrees above
zero with a windchill of -20. Today we got up to a whopping 10 above with 4 inches
of snow falling since 8:00am. Only in Iowa!
Plans are to move to Florida when I retire! If it keeps this up maybe sooner!
