Gear Leg Conformity
The gear legs on my ‘55 have what appears to me a slight “sag.” George and I have been discussing them and I haven’t seen a spec on how much is too much. The left is approx 3/32” and the right is about 1/8,” with full fuel and no other ballast. Before I contact one of the shops about a reman, I’m curious what other’s legs look like Are they all that way and I’ve never noticed or is this “too much?”

Well I just had a look,at mine and it’s the opposite but looked at 2 cessna 180,s and a 185 and they have the same amount of sag as you . Personally I wouldn’t be to worried .if it’s not cracked . I would check it each 100hrly .
