So if we balance ailerons and elevators, why not balance the nose gear fairing by adding weight in the front until it is neutrally balanced around the axle?  Would this not help reduce nose gear “flutter”?  I understand that the real center of vibration of the nose gear is around the strut axis, but balancing the wheel pant would at least bring the center of balance farther toward this axis.
