I have heard of a Lance Air with nose wheel trouble, because of the swivel
action.

If the nose wheel points off to one side, it tends to load the strut and
cause the craft to veer off to the side of the runway.

On RV's, the nose wheel has a snub device and hopefully will stay straight
ahead as we land. Yet Van has had strut failures.
