Tom,
My nose gear always had a problem free falling. I purchased new bearings from Lancair and had a shop install them. The shop said that they were still to tight. They sent them to a machine shop and had a few thousands milled off of the bearings. They also put in grease fittings.
Since the change, I have never had to replace the nose gear strut (3 replacements prior). When I do a free fall, the nose gear is the first to lock.

Just putting the feelers out if anybody has a nose wheel fork (LNC2 or L-IV) they are willing to part with.
Also, the bearing blocks that hold the nose gear to the engine mount.
I know it is probably unlikely, but I figured I would give everybody a shot to part with some old stuff. :)
Thanks,
Tom McNerney
