Hi Bob,
Your A&P may not be familiar with the play normally found in an Ercoupe
single fork nose wheel. Those A&P's who are unfamiliar with it often
'freak out' because it's different than what they are used to.
I have a single fork nose wheel on my 1947 415 CD that I've been flying with
it for about 9 years and 1300 hours (including 25 G 30 knot direct cross
winds), and it works just fine.
Before you spend any $$$ I'd be sure to have someone familiar with Ercoupes
take a close look at the nose wheel. IMHO - I think the dual fork nose
wheel is somewhat over sold.
Best regards,
Dan Hall

I have a 46 "D" (C85) with a nose strut shaped like an upside down ? ...
The nose wheel has a slight wobble that I'm told probably cannot be taken
out. Further, my A&P tells me the bearings need replaced. I also
understand there is a "fork" type strut that offers more stability. Is
this true and is the strut easily switched?
