Piper PA-28 question

Mine works but just *barely*. It takes quite a bit of turning to budge the
rudder. Can anyone give me an idea of how much the getting a new set of
springs will set me back? I hope it's not as ridiculous as the cylinders for
the seat vertical adjustment...

Rudder trim. Use it to center the ball at cruise.

Assuming it works. From what I've seen of various Cherokees, as often
as not, they're pretty much inop. It connects into the rudder cable
system with springs. The springs eventually wear out or get out of
adjustment, and people tend not to bother fixing them.

rudder.

The trick is to give the knob a turn, then kick the appropriate
rudder pedal. Always works for me. I presume the kick ovecomes the
friction or "stickiness" in the system.

Interesting. I'll have to give it a try. If it works, I'll owe you a cold
one!

Deal, Marco! Will you come here to treat me, or must I come to your
place?

I'm based out of Long Island, NY (KFRG). I want to check out your solution
in the next few days.
