AXLES
Forward and aft axles are removable and can be used on
either forward or aft landing gear. Each axle is secured
to the axle housing by a bolt which passes thru the axle.
SHOCK STRUTS
All landing gear shock struts are air-oil units.
Compressed air absorbs shock, and hydraulic fluid
dampens up and down movements.
STATIC GROUND WIRE
A static ground wire is installed on the aft left landing
gear. The wire consists of a cable and tube attached to a
mounting bracket. Three holes on the mounting bracket
provide for wire length adjustment. The mounting
bracket is installed on a clip on the axle housing.
