## Discrepancy

RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER LANDING.  PILOT MADE A LEFT TURN CAUSING RIGHT GEAR TO COLLAPSE.  INSPECTION FOUND THE TORQUE TUBE BRACKET ASSEMBLY BROKEN AT THE PIVOT BEARING, CAUSING THE DOWN LOCK TENSION TO BE NONEXISTENT.  FAILURE OF THE TORQUE RUBE ASSEMBLY DID NOT APPLY SUFFICIENT DOWN LOCK TENSION.
