I have been chasing a shudder in my left landing gear for at least the last 3 years.
This has been a problem on and off for maybe the last 40 or so hrs. It manifest itself on roll out when slightly on the brakes and crossing a pavement seam or all by itself when either getting on the brakes more aggressively or hitting a seam at higher speed. I surmise that the shudder is a aft/fore movement of the gear leg when under load.
This is driving me crazy! I have gone through the bolts and attachment saddles twice now and can't find any looseness or wear. I had an other RV builder look at the gear leg attachment and he could not see anything wrong either. Everything is tight on the wheel end as well.
Have other people experienced this as well, and if so what was the cause.
Any suggestions ?
