Tailwheel Shimmy Dampener

A compact and lightweight assembly that hydraulically dampens oscillations in the tailwheel to eliminate tailwheel shimmy and stabilize your tailwheel. The tailwheel shimmy dampener is designed to compensate for improper tailwheel caster angle, reduce internal tailwheel assembly friction, and poor tail wheel maintenance.

FAA-PMA Approved
Smooth landings
Reduced aircraft wear and tear
No headache installation and maintenance
Includes STC

Other Considerations:

Not compatible with the T3 Tailwheel Suspension
A long pawl (ABI3219-02) assembly is REQUIRED.
Installation of the tailwheel shimmy dampener on Cessna 170 aircraft with 3200 Series tailwheel assemblies requires and aircraft-specific leaf spring adapter plate.

Which tailwheel do you need? Follow the simple 2-steps below!

Step 1.) Select your tailwheel assembly to find the base shimmy dampener part number:

Tailwheel Assembly	Base P/N
3200 Bent Assembly	KEG-117
3200 Straight Assembly	KEG-116
3200-3 2 Hole Straight Assembly	KEG-118
3400/3450 Bent Assembly	KEG-111
3400/3450 Straight Assembly	KEG-112
3450-23 2 Hole Straight Assembly	KEG-113

Step 2.) Select additional options:

If KEG-116 or KEG-117:	Full P/N
Select your tail spring width	KEG-116	KEG-117
1-1/4"	KEG-116-1	KEG-117-1
1-1/2"	KEG-116-2	KEG-117-2
1-3/4"	KEG-116-3	KEG-117-3
Cessna 170 Adapter Plate	KEG-116-C170	KEG-117-C170
If KEG-111 or KEG-112	Full P/N
Select Tailwheel	KEG-111	KEG-112
ABI Tailwheel	KEG-111-1	KEG-112-1
SCOTT Tailwheel	KEG-111-2	KEG-112-2
If KEG-118 or KEG-113	Full P/N
No additional options	KEG-118	KEG-113

Wheel Assemblies, Brake Assemblies, and Complete Kits

After mastering the bush tire, in 2013 Alaska Gear Company's Alaskan Bushwheels turned to improving the standard Cleveland wheel and brake design. The FAA-PMA result of that design process is the line of ABI wheel and brake kits. Due to the material improvement of being made with aluminum versus magnesium, ABI wheel and brake kits improve corrosion resistance and part longevity particularly in wet or salty environments. ABI kits contain all components required to replace the existing wheels and brakes for one aircraft.

Anodized using MIL SPEC A-8625, Type II, Class II, Black
More resistant to corrosion
Longer lasting
Complete kit and subassembly parts available
FAA-PMA Approved
Use APS Black Steel brake discs
