Overview
|
Note: Please review the application guide to confirm the correct part number for your aircraft. The LORD® Fluid-Free Shimmy Damper offers high-performance damping with a maintenance-free design. It uses surface-effect technology to provide consistent damping for nose gears. Instead of using fluids to resist motion, our Shimmy Damper features a unique rubber formulation with a high-tech lubricant to absorb nose wheel shimmy. Since there is no fluid, this damper will not leak. Accelerated life testing of the LORD Shimmy Damper has demonstrated that it provides targeted damping after over 5,000 ground-air-ground duty cycles. This represents a product life of more than 10 years of usage on a typical high-use aircraft. NOTE: Installation hardware not included |

Reviews
Cessna could take a lesson. Lord Shimmy Dampener engineers know more than a Cessna engineer. Step up buy one and be done. I can’t imagine what Cessna would want for there sub par dampener. Their proud of their parts. Buy Lord S D. Glad I did.

This is a great product. Had shimmy problems every couple of years on my 210. Installed the Lord unit and have not had a shimmy for more than 10 years. It costs a bit more and is worth every penny.
Expensive but a nice product

Delivery was prompt. All necessary hardware supplied and component worked fine.
Awesome product that I hope lasts a long time. I was rebuilding my Cessna damper over and over again.
Looking forward not having to service damper any more. Delivered on time and as promised.
My Beech one had the inner piston seized due to lack of maintenance. While pricey, the Lord is built well and feels solid. No more occasional shimmy.
Works great on my 172m Two thumbs up. No more rebuilding the old one!
Had this installed in a PA28 five years ago and the dampener worked well for about three years, then performance started to decay and now needs replacement. Very short life given the high price. My mechanic says its not even serviceable.
Appears to be well made shimmy damper but does not fit Cessna 210L. One end is larger than Cessna damper and that causes interference with gear door.

It is a direct replacement.
