steering mechanism
Explanation:
The front landing gear strut contains the cylinders of the antishimmy damper - a device that protects the aircraft from the vibrations of the wheels - and a steering mechanism (with hydraulic cylinder), which is intended to turn the front landing gear strut as the aircraft travels (taxis) on the ground and in taxiing after landing and before takeoff.
