I haven't heard anything about another nosewheel failure. Where'd that happen? I assume they were able to alternate extend? I have noticed nosewheel shimmies, and the FIL about locked wheel turns had a crazy picture of a bad nosewheel bearing. Who knows. Could have been a bad PSEU too. I've heard one possible problem might have been the nosewheel centering mechanism didn't center the nosewheel, but that's entirely a rumor, so take it for what it's wroth. It certainly does sound like a possible cause, but I wouldn't go farther than that.
