## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: FLIGHT CREW REPORTED AWFUL SHIMMY/VIBRATION ON TAKEOFF  ROLL V1 UNTIL GEAR RETRACTION. VERY NOISY AND HARD TO HEAR EACH OTHER IN FLIGHT DECK. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE NOSE LANDING GEAR UPPER (AALA202310262260) AND LOWER (AALA202310266002) TORQUE LINKS PER AMM 32-21-27 AND ACCOMPLISHED A SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECK.
