Recently, I noticed the 4 cap screws on the = bottom of the strut were not tight and up along the body were smaller = screws were also loose so I tightened them. Now, the Left Main tire is = wearing dramatically on the outside and the plane turns constantly left = during taxiing. =20 My question is: What would that indicate inside the strut? I hesitate = to pull off the strut. If it is just normal play, I will try to = re-align but I'm not sure I want to loosen anything up on the strut at = this point until I understand what happened. Thanks.=
