## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON LANDING LEFT HAND GEAR INDICATOR SHOWED UNSAFE. INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE LEFT HAND GEAR DID NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED SPRING TENSION ON THE DOWN LOCK. LEFT GEAR ACTUATOR HAD SLIPPED. ACTUATOR REMOVED AND OUTBOARD SUPPORT BEARING WAS FOUND PROTRUDING ABOUT 1/8 INCH FROM HOUSING WHICH MAY HAVE LET PINION GEARS SLIP.
