An aircraft undercarriage having a sliding rod slidably mounted in a strut-leg, and a scissors linkage (4) having one branch (4a) hinged to the strut-leg or to a turning element of a control for steering the sliding rod mounted to turn in the strut-leg, and one branch (4b) hinged to the sliding rod, the branches being hinged to each other by a pivot pin (12), the undercarriage being fitted with a shimmy-attenuator device (10a, 10b) placed on the pivot pin of the shimmy-attenuator, the attenuator device including threshold resilient return means generating a force returning the branches towards a rest position, and at least damping means generating a damping force when the branches move axially along the pivot pin. The attenuator device comprises two modules (10a, 10b) placed on either side of the scissors linkage in order to co-operate with the pivot pin, each of the modules performing at least one of the damping function and the threshold resilient return function.
