My experience is DO not lube the nose wheel nylon washer. ( makes the shimmy
much worse). I found since I removed the spring, so the caster wheel will
rotate 180 d so I can push it backwards to park, It needs that nut to be very
tight, in fact it seems too tight by hand, but it needs to be.

You need to tighten the caster nut on the nose wheel. You should feel
resistance when you lift the nose and swivel the nose gear.
There is no specified torque that I know of on that nut. I have all the Diehl
drawings and instructions.

Had a bad shimmy in my nosewheel when I installed the fairing last week.
So I pulled it off and installed new wheel bearings and tire. My question is
does the nylon washer need lubrication and what torque is needed on the spindle
nut?
Thanks
