To kill shimmy 100% of the time full rudder preferably into wind but either
way the will break the nose-wheel swinging from side to side, in the past
I=99ve tried everything replacing parts raising the nosewheel and gen
tly let
down / slamming it down the only thing that works is catching it early with
full rudder the shimmy will stops immediately straighten up and continue
down the runway.


The key to not getting shimmy in the first place *never ever* pull the
power off just over the runway on short final, you=99ve got the speed
 right
leave the power where it is until you land then kill the power or glide
onto the runway from height.
