George,

I hav= en't experienced a shimmy incident ever since I balanced my front wheel pant= .  If you haven't done that, I would highly recommend doing that, even i= f you do shim the gear legs.

I tried t= o search the archives to see how best to support the wings.  No luck.

I am going to purchase a floor jack and lift the mai= n gear one at a time using the Lancair adapter.  Then put a saw horse w= ith carpet and foam to hold the wing while I check the main gear for play in= the legs.  I suspect I may need shims or be having wheel bearing probl= ems.  

I remember reading but I don=E2=80=99t r= ecall where to put the support under the wing.  Unfortunately, I don=E2= =80=99t have jackpoints.

Any advice?  Thank yo= u

George
