Default shimmy

I would take a look at the brake rotors and check them for warp age...

Default Shimmy - wheel bearings?

Just wondering if you have found the problem? I would check the wheel bearings for smoothness at all speeds. Please let us know what you find out.

Default amazing slow mo

that's an amazing slow motion video. In one shot it looked as if all the gear were moving with the main gear frequency 2X the nose gear. it seems as if the main gear are the prime stimulus but I wonder about effect of the nose gear stimulus on the mains. any changes to the nose gear recently?
