## Discrepancy

FLIGHT CREW FELT NOSE WHEEL SHIMMY DURING LANDING AND TAXI AT PVD.  MAINTENANCE WAS DISPATCHED TO AIRCRAFT AND REMOVED THE NOSE WHEELS AND FOUND THE LT INBOARD WHEEL BEARING FROZEN TO THE NLG AXLE FROM LACK OF LUBRICATION.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE AXLE AND BOTH WHEEL ASSEMBLIES AND RETURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE.
