  • Can You Stop Nose Gear Shimmy? by Dave McFarlane

Maintenance Tip

How do I know if my steering rods need to be replaced?

  • Nose wheel steering is unusually sluggish
  • One or both sides offer little or no spring resistance to steering input
  • More than 1 1/8" of free travel is present in either steering rod
  • The aircraft pulls to either side during taxiing
  • Inconsistent steering or rudder rigging

Steering Rod Boots for Cessna Aircraft

These bad boys can take the abuse!
The steering rod boots on the Cessna aircraft have a big job to do. They must keep out exhaust gases and prevent smoke and fumes from entering the cockpit in the event of an engine fire while tolerating the constant air pulses caused by the rotating propeller.

McFarlane steering rod boots are black Kevlar/fiberglass blend fabric. The fatigue resistance of Kevlar is uniquely mated with the fire resistance of fiberglass. 

  • Keeps the exhaust and carbon monoxide out of the cabin
  • Protects the cabin in case of an engine fire

Cheaper to replace than clean corrosion, prime, and paint the original!
Doublers are alodined, primed, and painted to save installation time. 

Nose Wheel Steering Rod Boot and Doubler Kits

McFarlane 150 thru early 182 series steering rod boots are black Kevlar®/fiberglass blend fabric. The fatigue resistance of Kevlar is uniquely mated with the fire resistance of fiberglass.
