Be careful not to get the nose wheel assembly too lubricated and "slick". You do want a fair amount of tension on it when you turn the nose wheel side to side so it will not shimmy during take off and landing.
Yes, I've experienced it. I called John McBean and he gave me the correct pounds of pull the nose wheel should have. I set the pull using a fish scale and it fixed the problem. Sorry, but I don't remember what the tension should be. It did teach me to get the nose wheel off the ground as soon as I powered up for take off, though, and to hold the nose wheel off the ground on landing. :eek:
