## Discrepancy

DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION, SUBMITTER FOUND NUMEROUS CRACKS (7) IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS ON NOSE GEAR TRUNNION.  UPON FURTHER DISASSEMBLY OF NOSE GEAR TRUNNION, MORE CRACKS WERE FOUND INSIDE TRUNNION.  THESE CRACKS COULD NOT BE SEEN UNLESS NOSE GEAR WAS DISASSEMBLED.  NO CAUSE OTHER THAN FATIGUE COULD BE ESTABLISHED.
