B737's can suffer from NLG vibration but it is important to acknowledge the difference between vibration and shimmy. Vibration can be caused by uneven tyre wear or worn torque links for example. Shimmy is a different problem and the aircraft has shimmy dampers installed on both main gears. If one of these is defective then the problem can be the main gear and not the nose.
