FAQs
What is a gear ring retainer?
A gear ring retainer (also known as a packing retainer) is a shaped metal ring that supports and stabilizes the bottom of the nose strut seal stack. It helps keep the locking strut ring secured in its groove.
Should the ring retainer be replaced when changing strut seals?
Not always. However, we recommend inspecting the condition of your ring retainer if replacing your seals. Ring retainers can become damaged from corrosion or wear over time. If corrosion or deformation is present, replacement is recommended.
What other McFarlane products work well with this part?
This ring retainer pairs well with McFarlane’s FAA-PMA nose strut seal kits, nose bearings, and inner barrel assemblies. McFarlane continues to develop additional nose strut replacement components, so we recommend checking our newest products for a comprehensive list of options.
Can this be used on main landing gear?
Yes, it may be applicable for main landing gear installations depending on your aircraft. Reference your parts catalog to confirm your applicability
