What was found

(CAN) DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION WE TOOK A CLOSE LOOK AT THE OLEO ASSEMBLY BASED ON PREVIOUS FINDINGS OF LIKE PARTS. THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THIS DETAILED INSPECTION IS BASED UPON THE KNOWN HIGH TIME AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT OF THESE UNITS. WE DETECTED A CRACK ON THE OUTER TOP SURFACE WHERE THE FORK CURVES. THE PART WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE AND REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE UNIT.
