## Discrepancy

( REF CWQR200801)  DURING A1-5 PHASE INSPECTION, FOUND EXCESSIVE PLAY INT HE NOSE GEAR FWD AND AFT PLAY CHECK.  AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION , FOUND THE NOSE GEAR FORK LOOSE ON THE PISTON. THEN THE SAFETY BOLT WAS REMOVED THE FORK FELL FROM THE PISTON.  THIS SHOULD BE AN INTERFERENCE FIT.  THIS IS A LOW TIME AC AND APPEARS TO BE A MFG PROBLEM.  FILED SCR NR 363222 WITH MFG. (K)
