Mark, no the reason I'm replacing them is because of very limited nose wheel steering on the ground.
You may want to post a question in the tech forum about diagnosing nose-wheel steering problems.
In a nutshell, the steering in the Cessna 150 is not very direct in a perfectly working system. The steering rods are spring-loaded and only swivel the nose-wheel about 10° either way. Additional travel (up to 30°) occurs with brake input and/or prop-blast over the rudder.
If the nose-strut is over-inflated the strut will extend and lock in the straight-ahead position (as it is supposed to do in flight). Naturally, this will make steering very difficult.
In short, it will not steer like a Piper on the ground. It will feel very 'mushy'.
But post a question in the Tech section for further details and tests.
