During my condition inspection I discovered that both of my VA-144 nose gear bushings were causing excessive side play in the nose gear. I have not contacted Vans to purchase a new part. I understand that I am not the first one to discover this, and that a larger O.D. part is available from Vans.
I just wonder whether this could in any way contribute to the nose gear sensitivity to shimmy/vibration that I have had since day 1.
No Cracks were discover IRT the service bulletin for the strut.
