## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING AN INSPECTION THE NOSE GEAR FORK WAS FOUND CRACKED IN 4 LOCATIONS JUST FWD OF THE WHEEL FAIRING ATTACHEMENT SCREWS.  WHEEL FAIRING WERE NOT BEING USED AT THE TIME.  ALTHOUGH THESE FORKS ARE PRONE TO CRACKING, THIS ASSY IS 1 OF THE WORSE WE HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE.  NEW ASSY WAS INSTALLED.
