Thanks for the advice. Will get more info on where the slop is soon.

My mechanic said at the last annual that there is too much slop in my landing gear. He is comparing this to other planes. My Mooney is the only Mooney he works on. We were cautioned that the main gear trusses are very hard to replace and replacing the main gear trusses is off the table. Lasar sells a replacement noise gear truss. They take an existing nose gear truss drill it out and put a larger bolt through it. Anyway, my mechanic wants to replace my nose gear truss. If this truss is replaced, the entire gear system has to be rigged. A friend of mine had a landing gear collapse in his K model after a mechanic re-rigged his gear. So, the question for you is: Do you think that it is a good idea to replace the nose gear truss (on a manual gear Mooney) because of slop in the linkage or go with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
