Each axle is secured to the axle housing by a bolt which passes thru the axle. SHOCK STRUTS All landing gear shock struts are air-oil units. Compressed air absorbs shock, and hydraulic fluid dampens up and down movements. STATIC GROUND WIRE A static ground wire is installed on the aft left landing gear. The wire consists of a cable and tube attached to a mounting bracket. Three holes on the mounting bracket provide for wire length adjustment. The mounting bracket is installed on a clip on the axle housing. 3-4
