The starboard one sits vertically however the port one is canted 5/16" out at the top. Have any of you had that situation and if so did you make a tapered shim, use washers or some other fix? Also I remember someone, I think it was Mike Easley, suggesting getting rid of the castle nuts and using standard nuts to reduce play in the nose gear attachment. I like that idea has anybody tried that yet? John, Any tendancy to shimmy yet?
