i have a 1964 m20c and i noticed on the ground the other day that my nose wheel moves laterally on the spindle structure. My mechanic thinks i'm missing a washer of some sort and also mentioned potentially having to replace the entire nose wheel assembly because of wear!! my mechanic put a metal shim in the wheel and this stopped the lateral movement, but he indicated this was just a temp fix. i really don't want to buy a new wheel assembly, so i am trying to figure out if the problem can be fixed by a smaller replacement. i was reading some other forums and thought it could be that the wheel bearings need to be replaced, But other forums also said you would feel the nose wheel pull the aircraft on touchdown... and i do not feel any pulling on touchdown. it is just freeplay in wheel laterally on the spindle.
