Searched and didn't find an answer. Cherokee Challenger (Archer 1), when I have a real greaser landing, one or both of the main struts will stay extended, then turning off the runway or on to the taxi way, they will let down to the normal position. First time it happened I thought I had a flat tire. It's now pretty routine as my landings are getting more consistent. I did have the struts checked for fluid and pressure when I was having some other work done and they were in spec.

Is this a normal thing?
