Most every time I land and brake a bit to pull off the runway, my nose is low. My normal routine now is to shut down, get out, and lift the tail back up. Once up, though, it holds fine through further taxi.
What can I do to fix this? Is this likely a matter of cleaning up the chrome tube with 5606 and putting some of that dry lube stuff on it? I'm told that if low pressure, it would bottom out all the time. Push the tail down, and it would just come right back up. In my case, it holds fairly well once the tail is pushed down. Next time I have to deal with it is on the next landing.
Also occasionally, I'm taxiing and my left wing will just drop. No big deal, it usually figures it out by the time I get where I'm going. But, could be a similar issue.
But, the bottom line is, I just never know what attitude I'm going to be taxiiing in these days.
