> if memory serves me correctly the LG06 suspension block was hardly compressed
at all before installation and only when the full weight of the aircraft was
resting on the wheel, did the block become compressed. Thus if you were to reach
up into the wheel bay while lying under your aircraft, you would find that
the two bolts passing vertically through the block would be loose i.e. have a
few millimetres sliding end play.
Jonathan - thanks for your message. Id be happy to try the effect of further
loosening
the M8 bolts that hold the suspension assembly together, but after my
first loosening there is now is barely enough thread protruding beyond the nuts
to keep them in safety, so theres not much room for further experiment.
I can believe that the weight of the aircraft will compress LG06 quite a bit and
thus leave the bolts loose, but on initial assembly I found I had to use
G-clamps
to compress the thing enough to even get the nuts started on the threads.
