Roy could be right.It sure looks like" slop"( excessive play). It is castering , like a shopping cart . You need to check the whole nose gear for play. Steering knuckle , rod, nutcracker bolts ,etc. --- On Tue, 7/28/09, Roy Stubbs <[email protected]> wrote:

On tightening the shaking no longer exhibited itself.

I flew this landing with 17 to 18 lbs in the nose tire. As you can see I landed on the mains, set down on the nose, rolled 300 to 400 feet and then it almost felt like it was going to break off until I got to about 15mph.
