About a year ago I serviced the nosewheel strut completely, replacing the old fluid. At the time I couldn't find anyone that knew what the pressure was supposed to be but several folks said unlike other aircraft, you want the strut to be fully extended normally but be able to pull it down by hand by pulling on the prop. I believe I may have lost some pressure which is causing issues with the over center cam, does anyone here know the proper number?

At least that seems to be true for M14. Glad you found the issue.

What are your steering issues? Does it pull to one side or the other where you are constantly apply opposite brakes to pull the aircraft to centerline??
