Front hydraulic landing gear settling

I agree that it sounds like an internal ram seal, but there =are= other causes, though they tend to be localized to one ram. You can get contamination in the valve seats, which can cause these issues, and which LCI is wont to blame, so they can sell you an entire new hydro system. They also don't tell you about internal leaks so they can sell you entire ram assemblies. Any decent hydraulic shop can test cylinders and tell you if you've got a leak, and can almost always do it without having to remove anything but the appropriate hoses. Now, LCI =may= step up and replace the jacks under warranty, but they may not.
