A. Not applicable.
4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 32-20-00-810-050-A
A. If there is a grinding noise from the NLG during taxiing or towing

NOTE: The noises do not endanger safety.If the aircraft ground time or lack of equipment does not permit
lubrication of the inner part of the nose gear shock strut, carry out the lubrication at the next con-
venient opportunity.

· do the lifting of the aircraft at forward jacking point, MLG wheels on the ground Ref. AMM 07-11-00-581-
003 .

NOTE: Lift the aircraft until the NLG wheel tires are 100 mm (4 in.) off the ground.

· put a hydraulic jack under the NLG shock absorber


· add half a liter of hydraulic fluid Mineral Hydraulic Fluid-Damper - - (Material No. 02BBB9) through the
upper orifice at the rear of the leg on the internal wall of the barrel with a syringe so that the fluid runs
down to the Airflon coated ring
(Ref. Fig. Location of the Fluid Injection Method (Absorber Assy - NLG Shock) SHEET 1)
· move the NLG shock absorber upwards by 70 mm min. (2.8 in.) with the jack to disengage the cams.
Do this operation two times
· manually operate the nose wheels
(rotation of the shock absorber plus or minus 45 degrees)
· hold the leg in this position for one hour
· do the lowering of the aircraft at forward jacking point, MLG wheels on the ground Ref. AMM 07-11-00-
586-001 .
(1) If the fault continues:
· do the lubrication of the NLG Ref. AMM 12-22-32-640-002 .
(2) If the fault continues:
· do the inspection/check of the torque link assembly of the nose landing gear Ref. AMM 32-21-00-
200-003 .
(3) If the fault continues:
· do the inspection/check of the clearance of the nose gear hinge bearings Ref. AMM 32-21-00-200-
004 .
(4) If the fault continues:
· replace the nose wheel steering cylinder Ref. AMM 32-51-42-000-001 and Ref. AMM 32-51-42-
400-001 .
(5) If the fault continues:
· replace the shock absorber Ref. AMM 32-21-13-000-001 and Ref. AMM 32-21-13-400-001 .
(6) If the fault continues:
· replace the LEG ASSY-NLG ( 2526GM ) Ref. AMM 32-21-11-000-003 and Ref. AMM 32-21-11-
400-003 .
