I saw Ross inspecting and repairing this. So it would seem it was a fault not a
design or implementation problem.

Like you, I have my experience with cars. I would like to know how negative the
caster angle was on the plane.
Yes, unlike in cars where the caster angle is positive, and the more positive
it is, the better stability, and wheel return.
But its harder to turn the wheel.

Yep. Then you get a tail wheel shimmy. :o)
FWIW, caster, tire pressure, and damping all apply whether w

I had that problem with my nose wheel due to the belview washers losing
their spring force. I had to change them out and add some more shims. Now
