I have the vans nose gear, it came as standard equipment on tango kits and
was shipped out to the original owner but i was a little disappointed that
3 different tangos i flew had varying degrees of shimmy on them, but I
might end up having to go with it. The article below details the history,
problems and specifications on them,

Take the bottom apart and take pictures of the pieces. Also mic the thickness of the washers. I am sure we can make improvements in the damping.
