I have friends with RV's that had shimmy problems, although theirs was on the 
mains of a taildragger. . Oddly enough, they cured it with PVC pipe. they 
take PVC pipe, cut in in half so you now have a long piece of PVC "C".  
They then fill it with silicone, and slap it on the front of the gear legs, 
and strap it into position with fiberglass reinforced strapping tape. Put the 
gear fairings back on.. and no more wobble/shimmy.  Interesting fix, but it 
worked.
