(single strut nose wheel - it's tight) Turning right only takes about 45 degrees to get it to turn --hard but not as hard as left.. Is this normal? I've checked the steering arm connections & possible obstructions to movement --seems OK. Raise nose wheel off the ground and everything turns easy - and not as much. I've got the floorboards out and I'm neck deep in the thing already -can't see anything obvious. Haven't dissembled anything yet. Steering/aileron/rudder shaft moves in the control column bushings when you turn the wheel - some... (how much is OK?). But can't see how that would create hard steering -- it does turn in the column OK. Anything I might check or a procedure to check something specific? > > Brakes don't seem to be dragging... How much effort should it take to turn 90 degrees when taxiing - light/serious/quite a lot? > > New 'coupe owner/longtime admirer, --been a Cherokee flyer, and now trying to make #N93394 really right.
