Gerard,

"What improvements have you noticed from the self centering = nose?"

The "self Centering" is a fringe = benefit of the=20 improved struts. The main reason to upgrade is the improved shimmy = dampening.

If you have shimmy, check wheel bearing = tension,=20 tire pressure and possibly a bad tire (flat spot etc) and oil quantity = in the=20 strut.

If the problem persists, it's in the = strut and will=20 only get worse. Shimmy can and has lead to strut failure /=20 collapse.

Struts are expensive but are cheap = insurance toward=20 the cost of a collapse.
