Really? On an RV-9A?
Has happened twice in the last month, never in the preceding six years.
Vibration stopped after two cycles, both times. Moderate intensity.
Both landings probably had exceptionally gentle nosewheel touchdown.
Condition inspection was two months ago, but the only thing done to the nosewheel was to grease the fitting on the fork.
Nosewheel is a sealed unit. Tire pressure looks good visually.
And, of course, leaving for Oshkosh next week, good Lord willing and the thunderheads don't rise...
