T3 tail clicking

[jrevens]

Hi Joe,

You said it makes the noise mostly when applying a side load. Does it also make some similar noise when you push straight up & down on the tail? Have you supported the tail and moved the assembly by hand? You might try applying a little lube to the shaft of the spring dampener.

Tighten the bolt that attaches your tailwheel to the t3. (Not your wheel bolt) Problem solved. Mine made the same noise, tighten it and noise is gone. You will not be able to visually see the movement, but there is slight movement between your tailwheel and t3.

Tighten this bolt tighter
