Posted for tfsent@att.net:
what about function #5, to center the wheel before retraction? it could bind
up in the well and cause a really bad day!

> The functional purpose of the nose strut is :
1) to hold the wheel in the right place relative to the airframe, 2) to absorb some energy on less graceful landings, and 3) allow the nose to rise gently on takeoff so the pilot has a moment to
find the right elevator position.
