I have never had the shimmy on my L4P with 450 hrs. However, I was advised to keep the nose tire at 30 lbs or less. I have done this which looks like it is low on air. This makes the contact patch much larger which dampens shimmy. The wrong thing to do is put more air in it. You need the largest contact area and a working internal shimmy dampener.

Jim,
You've probably already checked, but how about the inflation pressure on the
nose wheel? This is pretty important, and you might consider upping the
pressure a bit, even if it's in the "normal" range.
