Hi Everyone,
I've got a 63 235. Recently I rebuilt the main struts (Just replaced the lower seal and inflated & filled according to service manual). I refilled the nose strut but didn't disassemble it as it looked more involved that I had time for. Since I bought this plane a few months ago, the nose strut sticks pretty bad and makes a fair amount of popping & snapping on takeoff and landing. My question is:
Is this common and is it cause for immediate rebuild?
If you have had this problem, what ultimately solved it?
(FYI I have an IA that helps me and inspects/signs off on all maintenance, but he expects me to do the research & follow up)
Thank You
