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?

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. Rich Green N3881H 415CD
