The Cessna 210 Nose Landing Gear Shock Strut Assembly P/N 1243009-203 is a primary structural and damping component of the retractable nose landing gear system installed on Cessna 210 series aircraft.
This oleo-pneumatic shock strut absorbs landing loads and provides controlled compression during taxi, landing, and ground operations. The integrated torque link assembly maintains proper alignment of the nose wheel during extension and retraction cycles.
The assembly includes the main strut barrel, torque links, pivot structure, steering linkage attachment points, and mounting provisions as shown in photos.
Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum and steel components, this unit provides strength, fatigue resistance, and dimensional stability required for landing gear structural loads.
The nose gear shock strut is critical for:
• absorbing landing impact forces
• maintaining directional stability during taxi
• supporting retractable landing gear operation
• ensuring proper wheel alignment
Listed in Cessna parts catalogs as part of the nose landing gear assembly group.
