Since there's at least one old strut not being used, maybe someone could build a test fixture that would attach to the bumper of a pickup. It could have a provision for adding weights.

Mike,
That may be worth a try, but how do you go about it without destroying someone's airplane?  Since there's at least one old strut not being used, maybe someone could build a test fixture that would attach to the bumper of a pickup.  It could have a provision for adding weights.  Then drive it down the highway at 65mph and test various conditions.

Mark,
 
I believe a lightweight wheel pant was fabricated for Bryan Burr after his shimmy incident.  I don't know if it's carbon fiber or not.  I don't think Bryan installed it since he upgraded to the new nosewheel strut that doesn't have the shimmy problem.
