Gents,



I have what I would describe as "fine" vibration when the nose wheel touches down or during acceleration for takeoff. 



My thought is the usual suspects.



1. out of balance nose tire/wheel.

2. bad nose wheel bearing/or loose

3. shimmy damper.



Anyone have anything else I might need to look at? Going to start from the bottom and work up.



Thanks,



Keith

I had the same a few years ago... replaced nose wheel bearings.  That fixed it, but about 2 years later had to replaced the dampener.  JB

Chinese tire & wheel? If so, replace with a Cleveland wheel and an American tire. Doug Sapp has the appropriate spacers for the axle.
