Thanks for all the responses. Years ago the airplane had a wing replacement, so I'm now thinking it may be at the strut.

There is no adjustment at the strut. You have the correct strut or you don't.Danwaters wrote:Thanks for all the responses. Years ago the airplane had a wing replacement, so I'm now thinking it may be at the strut.
You have a B model and therefor you need any B model strut and perhaps even early 172s might be the usable. You wouldn't want an A model strut as it is shorter and you'd have no dihedral on that side.

Re: Wings not even at rest
There was an airplane at the 1996 170 Convention in Alabama (I forget whether it was an A or a B) that actually had a B-model strut on one side and an A-model strut on the other. I don’t know how it flew, but it sure looked odd.Bruce Fenstermacher wrote:There is no adjustment at the strut. You have the correct strut or you don't.Danwaters wrote:Thanks for all the responses.
