During this year's annual I was staring at my airplane on jacks for a while when we had the gear retracted.


I noticed that my left MLG was hanging down a bit more than the right. When I eyeballed from ahead or behind the wing, trying to line my eye up with the wing chord line, I would see just a little bit of tire hanging down on the right MLG, and about 1-1.5" more tire on the left MLG. The gear is fine and within spec when extended; preloads good, no issues, gear doors fit relatively well (though there is a little bit of a gap on the left side).


Has anyone dealt with this before? I am wondering how much speed it is costing me. I think its the type of problem that if I want to address I need to take to a good MSC.
