I have employed the staking of the nose gear pucks solution to prevent them from
rotating. My axle is tightened to the point where I can spin the wheel and
it stops after 1 1/2 revolutions. That coupled with. 22lbs breakout force and
30lbs of tire pressure has resulted in no nose gear shimmy for me
