So I have noticed a shimmy that has gotten a little worse. I checked the front tire and tension on the front wheel. The shimmy is from 35-40 MPH smooth slower and faster. Interestingly, I kept the nose off the ground my last two landings and noticed the shimmy did not go away. The shimmy is coming from the main gear. This is new for myplane so I started thinking about what caused it. I did my annual about three weeks ago and as part of the maintenance I rotated the main tires left to right as the outside of the tires were worn. Several people at my airport say this is a very common practice. The rotation of these tires is the only thing that has changed. Has anyone else experienced a main gear shimmy? Shimmy after rotating tires? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
