There are many GRIM accident photos in the PDF above. Here is one example of an A-4B castoring nosewheel (amongst other things).

From the trusted source 'skyhawkstudygroup' on YAHOO.com here is the news about the above A-4B:

QUOTE
"This was a hard landing that resulted in the loss of the right main landing gear wheel. The subsequent bolter was pretty iffy (down below deck edge). The barricade was rigged but the pendants remained raised, so on the touchdown prior to reaching the barricade, the stub of the strut caught a wire and slewed the airplane so the barricade engagement was pretty ugly. However, all's well that ends well."
