A side articulating main landing gear assembly for an aircraft which includes a wheel axle fitting oriented in a horizontal plane when the landing gear assembly is in an extended condition deployed from a landing gear bay of the aircraft, a shock absorber adapted to stroke between an extended state and a compressed state upon landing the aircraft, a first linkage for maintaining a tire supported on the wheel axle fitting in a substantially vertical plane as the shock absorber strokes between the extended state and the compressed state, and a second linkage for maintaining the wheel axle fitting in the horizontal plane as the shock absorber strokes between the extended state and the compressed state. The first and second linkages are adapted and configured to minimize lateral tire scuffing during shock absorber stroking.
