Question

Where can I find a shimmy damper on a Cessna 150?

Answer 1

It's that little shock- asorber looking thing on the side of the nosewheel.

Answer 2

On the nose wheel.

Answer 3

Nosewheel strut.

Answer 4

It's that little thing that looks like a hydraulic cylinder on an arm attached to the side of the nose wheel strut.  If it is leaking oil, you may not get the desired damping effect, and the nose wheel will shimmy, sometimes wildly, on landings and takeoffs.  The proper technique is to keep the weight off the nose wheel as much as possible until the shimmy damper can be replaced.

And get it back to the shop as soon as possible.  Don't fly unnecessarily until repairs are complete.
