<BR>Whilst at the Legacy Builders Workshop (last wk of August 2000), I had <BR>Lancair service my 320 nose strut. &nbsp;We experimented with 30 weight fork oil <BR>instead of 20 weight. &nbsp;The purpose was to increase the performance of the <BR>shimmy dampener and better stabilize the shock function. &nbsp;I did not detect <BR>any operational difference, so I believe Lancair would use the 30 weight oil <BR>on struts serviced after August 2000 &nbsp;and this could lead to the stiffness <BR>difference felt when hand turning the nose wheel.
