Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Everything But Airplanes WTB: Serviceable Shimmy Damper

Anybody happen to have a serviceable shimmy damper to fit a 150M they they'd be willing to sell for a reasonable sum? Mine is leaking and in need of a rebuild. I'd like to try the rebuild myself but don't quite have the guts to pull my current one before I learn what I am doing.

Thanks.

Easy as pie. No worries at all. You can do it !!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Gene. I think I get the steps but my mechanic's not on field so the idea of rebuilding another one without grounding my plane is reassuring.

Call Bob at PSA Enterprises. Tell him that I sent you. They have the rebuild kits.

James, it just a couple of o-rings I think a roll pin and a snap ring. Make sure you fill it all the way up with oil. Check for looseness on the shimmy damper connection points.

Try Kirk's method, from the Tech FAQ section:

Yeah boy.....that's the ticket.

Make sure the problem is not a loose scissor link, there is a rebuild kit.
