## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: FLIGHT CREW REPORTED THAT ON TAKEOFF AT V1 A NOTICEABLE LEFT SIDE FORCE JOLT WAS FELT AND ON LANDING AT DFW THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE WOBBLE GENERATING FROM THE GEAR UNTIL WE SLOWED BELOW 125 KNOTS. THE FLIGTH CREW SAW NO VISUAL DAMAGE TO ANY OF THE GEAR OR TIRES ON THE POST FLIGHT INSPECTION. MAINTENANCE FOUND THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR SHIMMY DAMPER LEAKING AND REPLACED IT PER AMM 32-11-29.
