I have about 70 hours on my 14A and I’ve always known that the landing gear were not sitting flat to the ground. I always figured they would settle in.
When I pulled the pants off yesterday, I found all the wear on the outside of the tires. I decided to look over the plans again but there doesn’t seem to be any adjustment for this problem. I was very careful to align the tires and used some of the shims Van’s sells and the tires are very straight to the path of travel.

I figure I can remount the tires so the “used” side is on the inside but wanted to see if others have similar wear and if there are any options.
Hope I didn’t miss something here.
