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.

Ok, will do

The problem is they are not using these kinds of springs to keep a constant force on the damping washers.
