I am anxious to see how mine will do. Awhile back I redrilled my left gear
leg so both wheels were pointed in 1.10 degrees. I only used 1.10 because
the right gear was set there from construction when lining up the factory
holes. I moved the left gear to match since it was toed out and the right
was toed in. I called Van's to make sure the bolt I used would be
structurally ok. We'll see!

For what its worth, I totally eliminated my shimmy by re-balancing my tires (original 130 hrs ago).
The surprising part for me was how much lead weight it took to get them balanced.
I was most suspect of the balance until I did 2 test flights following the re-balancing......

[quote]Rick is at least partially correct... what I think may have happenned was through lots of, ok and not so ok landings, the balance in the tires simply got worse and worse. That imbalance feeds back through the gear legs, then at some point, they are unable to remain stable, and begin to shimmy. What I do know, is that it sure feels wonderful to be shimmy free.... and I promise to make all my landings in the future, perfect! (--;

Is that some sort of an attempt to quantify your understanding of the problem? .Mine came on progressively so I am leaning towards the tire as the main cause, Don is here now and he swears that was the fix for him..if it were a gear specific issue I would think it would have been there from the beginning right?
