As always it's not usually just one component causing a problem but lack of general maintenance in a whole system.I check these things quite often over a year and also tyre pressures.
Before I changed jobs and got into Aircraft maintenance one of my early jobs was as a tyre fitter so it's a kind of legacy thing with me as I know just how much running tyres too high or to low can affect things
