A couple of other possibilities that might cause nose wheel shimmy:
Worn scissors bushings,
worn scissors bolts,
under-inflated or over-inflated tire,
too much vertical clearance between the steering collar and the nose
gear strut,
worn rod end(s) on the nose gear steering pushrod,
worn out or loose nose wheel bearing
As always, check with your licensed mechanic before using any info
provided here. I'm not a licensed mechanic, so take this info for
what it is worth.
Pretty good for an "amateur"!
The only thing I'd add is wear between the external and internal
cylinders or between the external cylinder and the steering collars,
likely what is "fixed" by greasing. I think the oroginal poster
stated that the nose tire was new and balances, but a worn flat spot
will cause trouble too.
