Narrative:
Received aircraft #xyz from arriving crew at XA45 in mob. I performed preflight duties on aircraft #xyz and found no new discrepancies. Then departed on flight #XXX from mob to cvg, a routine flight. In cvg while performing my postflt duties of aircraft #xyz, I noticed the front left nosewheel was improperly installed. I notified my captain, who also agreed with my findings. Maintenance was then notified. The nosewheels were replaced. In the future, I will ensure this does not happen again. Also I will be more vigilant on my preflts and postflts.
