Nose wheel dampner

G'day Nooby, have you found a procedure and fluid spec for the shimmy dampner in the IETP? Or anywhere else? I asked AW tech rep ages ago and was never able to get an answer. We had a nose wheel that would not completly centre and stopped landing gear from being retracted. I now grease the nose gear swivel every 25 hrs and seems to be OK. Pilots were able to kick the tail rotor one time and get the nose assy to pop into the cam centering to get the gear up.
Just curious as to if there is a procedure to check the dampner fluid level available
Cheers
KC
