REFLECTOR: Nose gear shimmy

Some other things to check: 

Wheel balance
Tire out of round
Wheel out of true

Balance and round-ness can change over time and may have just reached a
critical point.  These are also exacerbated by pressure.

My fairing is removeable, I built it that way. The fairing is, or was,
attached with screws on the leading edge. There have been previous posts
about a replacement bushing that won't compress in the center causing
fore and aft slop. I don't believe that this slop will cause shimmy,
mine has considerable play also with no shimmy.
