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