For owners, maintenance technicians, and FBO maintenance shops operating the venerable Piper PA-28-161 Warrior, the integrity of the landing gear system is a critical safety and operational consideration. The **Main Gear Shock Strut Bolt (P/N 96392-810)** plays a vital structural role within the main landing gear assembly. This specialized bolt is designed to secure components of the main gear shock strut, ensuring the proper articulation and load transfer during ground operations, takeoffs, and landings. As a key fastener in a high-stress environment, its material integrity, precise dimensions, and correct installation are essential for maintaining the aircraft's airworthiness and operational reliability.
