I used lead shot in resin, covered with 2-bid.

Yeah that's a good point now that I have the wheel pants off. What did you use to Balster will pan with? Did you use lead weights?

George,

I haven'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 if you do shim the gear legs.

All,

Got a pretty shimmy tonight, enough to loosen the front wheel fairings screws.  Also while pushing her back into the hangar I could hear a rubbing sound on the left main wheel, but only pulling forward; not backing.  So now its time to jack up the main gear and see whats going on.

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

I am going to purchase a floor jack and lift the main gear one at a time using the Lancair adapter.  Then put a saw horse with 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 problems.  

I remember reading but I don’t recall where to put the support under the wing.  Unfortunately, I don’t have jackpoints.

Any advice?  Thank you

George
