The Strut is supposed to be centered when fully extended. If it is not or is
not able it is wrong, and unsafe in the retraction cycle.  Not what it was
designed to do.  Take the strut off and, or get it to someone willing to
verify its internal integrity.  Something else is terribly wrong. Has
Lancair gone through your strut?

My strut has been trouble free. (4 years and 200 hours in my care.)  I have
had tire pressures at 30-35 psi and not a hint of imbalance or shimmy on the
CHEN SHIN/ ESCO combination.
