| Subject: | Re: nose gear actuator mount... |
Bill and all:
On a CJ6 the nose gear actuator mounts to the airframe via the end cap which
has a bearing in it. Many of these caps are defective. We have Rockwell
tested many and have found some of them very soft. The soft ones tend to
become stretched out in a oblong manner, allowing the bearing to slop up and
down. We have a fix for this which is a CNC'd 4140 steel end cap with new
bearing.
With the aircraft on jacks or at least the tail tied down to remove all
weight off the nose gear, remove the bolt which connects the nose gear ram
to the over center linkage. Then push/pull STRAIGHT up/down and see if you
hear the noise or feel slop in the end cap. If you don't hear/feel the
movement the problem most likley is that your over center linkage is
improperly adjusted.
Hope this helps,
Always Yakin,
Doug
