Some tailwheels have a plate with a hole into which a ball clicks. If the plate cracks, taxiing is a continuous correction of turning left/right. I've taxied a Jodel DR10 for almost a mile on tarmac with this condition. Surprisingly the replacement plate was cheap and in stock in the UK, so this must be quite common.
