You know, I was wondering about that. Can a fixed landing gear be "cocked"
to one side or the other?


One can be, but the effect would be to produce either excessive or insufficient
toe-in with a tendency for the aircraft to move a little sideways on the ground.
If bad enough, it will require noticeable rudder input. It would not produce
different wear patterns on the mains. Bending one axle either up or down *would*
produce an odd wear pattern on only that one wheel, but only a tendency for the
wear to be on either the inside or outside tread.

He who would distinguish what is true from what is false must have an
adequate understanding of truth and falsehood.
