What is nose wheel straightener?

[Gary Ward]

I see these listed for sale. What are they, how are they used? Are there different ones for different planes? Is it only a cessna thing?

TIA

It is simply part of the mechanism that straightens the nose wheel as it is retracted to fit into the wheel bay. I doubt it’s called that in the maintenance manual

Thanks for that, I had no idea thinking it was some kind of tool.

Have noticed that, Craigslist too. I’ve become pretty leery of internet listings as a whole lately, as it seems like there’s more scammers than anything nowadays.

they are used after a airplane driver wants to land the aircraft @ a higher than recommended rate of speed.
