My Diehl nose wheel has developed a violent shimmy between 20 and 40 Kts. I managed to drip some oil from the engine onto the strut. The oil ran down and got into the swivel joint and lubricated the nylon washer. Now it does not have the proper friction. So, have to take the swivel joint

I saw Ross inspecting and repairing this. So it would seem it was a fault not a design or implementation problem. cheers

Like you, I have my experience with cars. I would like to know how negative the caster angle was on the plane. Yes, unlike in cars where the caster angle is positive, and the more positive it is, the better stability, and wheel return. But its harder to turn the wheel. In the nose wheel of a

Sorry guys, just could not resist, being the conventional gear bigot that I am. I also love them all, would never turn down a KR, just because it had a training wheel. I will try to wait till Friday next time. Still in the Hangar re-installing my engine, so I am sure you can understand why I

Phil, you are correct, we are getting carried away again. I have the Diehl nose wheel with 250 hours and never had shimmy. I have run it with 20 lbs pressure, 30 lbs pressure and 40 lbs pressure and to date have not had any shimmy. And as far as you tail dragger guys go. Your tail's can shimmy

I have been told you can use 'rate sensitive' or 'damper' grease in the pivot and it will remove this shimmy. This same grease is used in the volume controls in higher end stereos. Check out these links: http://www.nyelubricants.com/pdf/dgm.pdf

In the late fifties some Ercoupes would experience a shudder during take off or landing (I don't remember which) and the quick cure was to reduce the nose wheel tire pressure about five pounds which set the pressure to about 20 psi. I don't think that they ever shuddered like the one in

I had that problem with my nose wheel due to the belview washers losing their spring force. I had to change them out and add some more shims. Now the nose wheel caster is stiff but doesn't shimmy at speed. That Diehl nose wheel in the video needs some attention. -Joe Scappoose Ore. > I have
