----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----Cecil, I have several suggestions:
1. Check your nose tire for balance. Tie the tail down far enough to elevate the nose wheel and rotate the tire by hand. Check to see if it has a heavy spot. If so, add lead weight(s) opposite the heavy spot to balance it out.
2. Check your tire pressure. I find it best to keep the pressure up around 22 lbs.
3. Add grease to the zerk fitting on the nose strut, just above the bottom cowl. The grease will dampen out any looseness in the strut.
