## Discrepancy

(CAN) PRIOR TO TOW, IT WAS NOTED THAT LT NLG WHEEL WAS TILTED.  WHEEL WAS REMOVED & AXLE WAS FOUND BROKEN BETWEEN THE TWO BEARING JOURNAL.  THE WHEEL WAS ONLY KEPT IN PLACE BY THE NOSE GRAVEL SKI AXLE WHO RUN INSIDE THE NLG AXLE.  PARTS HAVE BEEN SENT FOR INVESTIGATION TO FIND OUT CAUSE OF THIS FAILURE.
