We did have a toe in problem that was fixed and did seem to make the low speed taxi shimmy better. The high speed shimmy was still an issue and we finally got someone next to the runway on landing. The high speed issue was a very impressive nose gear shimmy. I had suspected this, but we got side tracked when we found the main shimmy. We had checked the shimmy damper on the nose gear using the grease plate technique and it seemed fine. We are going to pull the nose wheel pant and fly again, but I think we'll need to get the nose gear strut rebuilt. BTW it is one of the "new" struts. I guess common issues are common. Thanks again.
