Background: C172M, purchased December, hundreds of landings with the front nose pant off. Had some work done on the plane, IA put the front pant back on. Did my first soft field takeoff leaving his shop. Landed back home, good slow energy landing, gentle brake application led to brief shimmy, alleviated by brake release. Same thing happened again.
Might putting the pant on have caused this?
Might something have happened during either mechanic work or soft filed unevenness?
What would you do at this point?
Mechanic said to use more yoke on landing, think I had plenty in use at the time.
My thoughts are to
1. Fly some more and observe.
2. Consider taking the pant off?
3. Have mechanic look at it.
What are your thoughts re cause and cure?
Thank you.
