One thing I did that helped stop the bending of the Sierra tail wheel piston was install an air regulator in the line. By reducing the pressure to 60psi, the tail wheel piston would compress if it took an impact instead of locking stiff as it does at 100psi. This allows it to take up the shock and will not bend near so easily. One advantage of the Sierra tail wheel is that it drops down lower than the Robart. This keeps the plane more level allowing it ground handle better.
