Richard,

My 415-C does not have any fasteners holding the bushing.  It looks to be just 
a press fit. And I have seen it slip.  Anyone else had a coupe that does NOT 
have the fasteners into the busing?. If so, how do you keep the bushing in 
place?

Thanks again to everyone that helped me out with the nose gear bottom 
bushing failure analysis. Whoever assembled the nose gear last, or 
serviced it, did not align the fasteners properly and the bushing slid 
out down the strut my last landing last weekend. Sounds like no one 
has had a similar experience before. If you do the vibration and 
shimmy will certainly get your attention. Maybe something to look for 
in pre-purchase inspections. The bushing has been reassembled and works 
fine again.
