## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG ON GEAR RETRACTION.  AS AIRCRAFT ACCELERATED, NOSE GEAR APPEARED TO BE VIBRATING SEVERELY.  RECYCLED GEAR, NO HELP.  JACKED AIRCRAFT, FOUND NOSE GEAR DOORS NOT FAIRED AND RIGHT GEAR DOOR ADJUSTMENT VERY TIGHT.  ADJUSTED DOORS IAW DC8 MM 32-22-01.  OPS CHECKED GOOD.
