All 11 shock discs replaced! The mains were a breeze (except for one bolt that had been buggered up by a previous mechanic), no special tool required. The nose....(done in conjunction with a new nose truss) was an incredible journey without the tool and an opportunity to expand one's socially incorrect vocabulary. Mooney's instructions: minimal. Old discs were 12/90 and just failed to pass muster on this year's annual. Aircraft Spruce price: $125 + tax.....each. Ouch.

Hello all, We just installed new donuts on the nose wheel along with a LASAR steering horn and a rebuilt nose truss. The steering is much more responsive and no play whatsoever. There is no more shimmy right before rotation now. So overall a pretty noticeable improvement. What I am not happy about is how exaggerated every bump in the pavement feels. My plane bounces like a low rider on Sunset Blvd. Is this the way a Mooney is supposed to feel when taxiing? Anyone else have the same reaction after replacing their donuts? Thank you in advance for your responses, Steve
