<div dir="auto">Thank you for your info. You were right, after installing the strut, I forgot to adjusted the nose wheel and the rudder. I adjusted the turn buckles. I was not happy with the fit of the rods, on the nose strut, to the block. I worked on compressing the donuts and compressing the donuts, to lower the nose gear rods firmly on the block.

Although I got it on the block, it was about a 1/4" off the center of the block. (Not as firm as I would like, with the nose wheel off the ground) I will fly it and maybe after a couple of landings it may be ok. I spoke to Roger, he felt the rods on the strut, needed to be firm, on the block, or the nose wheel might turn in flight, he suggested a new block. </div>

<div dir="auto">I really like the new oleo strut nose gear. It is better than the bungee cord system and adjustable. Details to follow on my Zodiac 601xl with a Continental 0-200 engine.</div>

Hi robert<br />
The most obvious solution to me sounds like you don’t have your nose wheel pointed straight<br />
If it’s skewed at an angle in flight it would exhibit the symptoms to describe<br />
There are threaded adjustment on the tie rods to get the nose wheel straight<br />
If it’s the Zenith unit, give them a call to get more info<br />
