Two back to back cone springs are used to keep the castor assemblies tight and reduce castor whipping action. The double jam nuts that are used to lock the castor assembly in place may need to be adjusted in order to take up wear in components of the castor pivot.The lower nut should be adjusted to the point that the cone springs are flattened, and then it should be backed off one half turn.
