Finally, a shimmy dampener servicing kit One of the most neglected
components on Piper aircraft is the shimmy dampener. The shimmy dampener
aids nose wheel steering by reducing the shimmy of the nose wheel during
takeoff and landing, and during high-speed taxiing. Even minor shimmying
can lead to serious damage to the nose gear and engine mount and affect
the airworthiness of the aircraft. The shimmy dampener is a sealed unit
that, until now, could not be serviced and required costly replacement.
The STC and accompanying servicing kit allows the MAECO shimmy dampener
to be modified and serviced, restoring the shimmy dampener to like-new
condition and enabling it to perform as originally designed! The servicing
kit installs in less than an hour by any A&P mechanic. Once modified,
if the shimmy dampener ever needs servicing again, the owner can service
it with hydraulic fluid.
