| Subject: | Re: Nose gear shimmy |
Soooooo, I am the original "poster" on this thread. Anyway, I installed (with Epoxy)
an eye bolt in the rear concrete floor in my hanger. I raised the nose well
off the floor. Then I completely disassembled my front gear and then put it
back together. I bought an all new front tire (a Condor tire by Michelin) that
my local FBO balanced for me. I did not know that Condor is Michelin's sub
brand - might even be the same thing. Made in Thailand by Michelin.
It is important to align the little yellow dot with the valve stem to facilitate
the balancing. It was a fun but time consuming project. I also did the installation
of the AD/SB plate that I had not done (Vans S/B 14-08-29). The big shimmy
is gone, but I did have a little bit at about 20-30mph on a rough runway
today.
But as the shimmy is gone at high speeds, I consider the issue resolved. My vote
is that if you have not had shimmy and it develops, consider a new tire and
GET IT BALANCED CAREFULLY!
