## Discrepancy

(CAN) NLG FORK ASSY WAS INSPECTED DURING A ROUTINE 100 HR INSPECTION.  SEVERAL SMALL CRACKS WERE NOTED NEAR THE NOSE WHEEL AXLE BOLT.  THE FORK ASSY WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW, SUPERSEDED, PN 20-3220-08-00-1-MOD PROVIDED. EXPERIENCE SHOWS THAT IF CRACKS GO UNDETECTED, NOSE WHEEL SEPARATION FROM ACFT IS LIKELY.
