An aircraft landing gear 2 comprises a first arm 6a configured to have one or more wheels 8a mounted at one end and the first arm 6a is mounted to a pivot 10a. The landing gear 2 comprises a second arm 6b configured to have one or more wheels 8b mounted at one end and the second arm 6b is mounted to a pivot 10b. The landing gear 2 further comprises a first link 18a pivotally coupled to the first arm 6a, a second link 18b pivotally coupled to the second arm 6b. A main link 20 is pivotally coupled to each of the first and second links 18a, 18b and to a shock absorber 22. The arranged is intended to provide a biasing force via the main linkage 20 and the first link 18a to oppose rotation of the first arm 6a about the pivot 10a and provide a biasing force via the main linkage 20 and the second link 18b which opposes rotation of the second arm 6b about the pivot 10b.
