----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Tom, It cost me about $75.00 to have my mechanic balance my nose wheel. I didn't see how he did it, but it certainly solved the shakes. My Coupe would take off without a wobble. But landing was a different situation entirely. I'd touch down, and the yoke would shake so bad I figured something was going to break. I checked the steering linkage, and found one of the ball joints had actually loosened up. Tightening didn't help. After the annual ( we replaced a bearing in the left main gear, and hoped that would help ), she still had the shakes. On landing, it would shake so bad that I would hold full back elevator, which seemed to help, until about 30 mph. Then the shaking would stop. I got so I would touch down, hold full back on yoke, and hit the brakes to loose speed. My brakes are the best I've seen, and that would give me the shakes for only a couple of seconds. I figured this could only lead to disaster, so balancing the nose wheel was my last resort. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

Mine shakes like the dickens when I land on hard surfaces and is more pronounced when I apply brakes. When I land on grass it doesn't shake. The best idea I've heard is balancing the tire/wheel. Does anyone know who would have a machine to dynamically balance that small a tire? ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVzvvT Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
