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! -------- See you OSH '18 Q/B - flying 8 yrs.
