Narrative:
Aircraft X was in for light 'C' check and was assigned to the nose landing gear for seal change. I was informed that aircraft X was removed from service for nose landing gear shimmy. All maintenance was done per maintenance manual P/C4753. I don't find I was at fault due to any maintenance procedures.
