What does this bolt do on the nose strut assembly?

[Indiana_Pilot]

I am starting to go through my nose gear and strut looking over items for my upcoming annual.. what does this bolt (the one I am pointing at #15) do? Manual / parts list just calls it a bolt.

It's on a Pa28-180

Take it off and see what happens. Then youll know what it does.

Have you cross-referenced with the service manual? Section 2E22.

It holds the steering horn (35) on.

Man, where do you get a horn for your airplane? I know I need one for mine! Been looking for years.

I would think they would have something more holding the horn on!

I bet if we did a trend showing POA bans & feisty-ness vs SIGMETS, we'd see a trend (prolly caused by boredom or more time spent on the web). Now it's Stella, plus I think we're near a full moon!!

They all require you to blow really hard, but I'm sure you have that covered...

I guess I should re phrase my question.. if the pin is there to hold the horn on as well it seems as though the bolt wouldn't do much.. maybe designed to take stress off the pin?
