THE CREW CYCLED THE GEAR AND THE SOUND REMAINED BUT THE INDICATION CLEARED.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED IN LFT WITHOUT INCIDENT WHERE MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED TO IAH WHERE MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE LEFT HAND MAIN LANDING GEAR SHOCK ABSORBER, OPERATIONALLY CHECKED WITH NO DEFECTS, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
