So what you are saying is the Sticktion is what we are fighting  right.
So if we over come this then we would not need toe Hydraulic dampener?

"Sticktion" is only part of the problem.  I find the sticktion force only
about 2-3 lbs more that the steady state.  What we want is a freely
castoring nose wheel that does not shimmy - or as close to that as possible.
