A system for damping vibration and/or shimmy of a landing gear system is disclosed. The system is a friction-based damping system 22 that utilizes a friction pad 28 and friction wedge 32 to dampen vibration and/or shimmy. The friction pad may be coupled to an apex pin 24 that is used to couple a first torque link 16 and a second torque link 18 together. The friction wedge may be a made of a wearable and/or consumable material.
