The three landing gears use a Cleveland 600x6 wheel, the main wheels being provided with Cleveland single disc hydraulic brake assemblies, No. 30-55. All wheels use 600x6 four ply tires with tubes.

The nose gear is steerable through a 30 degree arc by use of the rudder pedals. A spring device is incorporated in the rudder pedal torque tube assembly to aid in rudder centering and to provide rudder trim. The nose gear steering mechanism also incorporates a hydraulic shimmy dampener.

The oleo struts are of the air-oil type, with the normal extension being 3.25 inches for the nose gear and 4.5 inches for the main gear under normal static load (empty weight of airplane plus full fuel and oil).

The standard brake system for the Cherokee 180 consists of a hand lever and master cylinder which is located below and behind the left center of the instrument sub-panel. The brake-fluid reservoir is installed on the top, left, front face of the firewall. The parking brake is incorporated in the master cylinder and is actuated by pulling back on the brake lever and depressing the knob attached to the left side of the handle. Then re- lease the brake lever. To release the parking brake, pull back on the brake lever to disengage the catch mechanism and allow the handle to swing forward.

Optional toe brakes are available to supplement the standard hand lever and parking brake system.
