## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT NOTICED TIE ROD BROKEN UPON RETURN TO BASE. NO DIFFICULTY WITH THIS LANDING OR PREVIOUS LANDINGS WHERE NOTED BY PILOT. PART WAS REPLACED AND AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. PLEASE ADVISE WHERE PARTS CAN BE SENT FOR EXAMINATION.  HAVE NOT SEEN A FAILURE OF THIS TYPE IN NORMAL OPERATION IN OVER 30 YEARS OF AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE.
