## Discrepancy

FORWARD ROD END BEARING (ON INTERMEDIATE ROD FROM LANDING GEAR GEARBOX TO NOSE GEAR) SEIZED, CAUSING ROD END TO SHEAR IT`S ATTACH RIVETS, ALLOWING ROD END TO PARTIALLY SEPARATE FROM ROD, EFFECTIVELY JAMMING NOSE GEAR.  THIS RESULTED IN A NOSE GEAR-UP LANDING.  ROD END APPARENTLY SNAPPED DURING LANDING.
