Jim, Forney developed the dluble fork to "solve the Shimmy" problem...But, in my opinion, the fork was not the problem, but loose joints in the sissors was.
So the fork was replaced, sitting the nose higher, making the coupe difficult otm and, etc; when all was needed was proper tightening og the sissors. Those that replaced the foprks, then had to install shims on the main gear tomget the coupe back into take off/land position so they would handle properly and not balloon on landing..... Tighten the sissors bolts so that the sleeve acts as a bushing.... there should be no play between the bolt and the bushings...... and no play between the bushings and the sissors joints... Now, that fixes everything so there is no shimmy. Many unknowing mechanics and owners think the bolts should be just snug.....not so.... the bolts should be torqued so that the serrated washers grip the pheonolic bushing --so tha the bushing turns, not the bolt as the sissors opens and closes....
