Just repaired my Nexstar from a landing that removed the gear. I noticed when installing the front wheel that the wheels turns further to the left than the right due to the coil (spring) making contact with the firewall when turned to the right. Not sure if this is how it's supposed to be or if my not-so-pleasant landing bent things. Thanks for the help.

I just looked at the Nexstar manual and it clearly shows that the bottom of the coils is even with the bottom of the fuselage.
Remember that the nose wheel only needs to turn a few degrees. This isn't supposed to be a slalom racer. At the most you want to be able to turn around using the FULL width of your runway. Too sensitive of a nose wheel just makes it more difficult to handle on takeoff.

they should turn equal if you have a computer radir set the throws for that,otherwise it isnt going to hurt turnning more in one direction as long as it steers straight.like bruce said you only have to turn a few degrees in either direction.
