## Discrepancy

NOSE GEAR ACTUATOR PISTON ASSY (ROD AND PISTON) RECEIVES A SIDE LOAD AT THE THREADED END OF ACTUATOR ROD.  NOSE GEAR ACTUATES AT A VERY FAST RATE WHICH MAY CAUSE A 'BOUNCE' AT THE TRAVEL LIMIT WHICH BENDS AND CRACKS, AND ULTIMATELY BREAKS THE END OF THE ACTUATOR.  SUBMITTER STATED THIS IS 6TH OCCURRENCE (DIFFERENT AIRCRAFT) THIS YEAR.
