           Background: The FAA received reports of main gear side brace stud cracks, and seven associated incidents where the main landing gear collapsed. The actions specified by this Directive are intended to prevent a main gear collapse caused by main gear side brace stud cracks, which could result in loss of control of the aircraft during landing operations.

           Amendment 1 allows reaming of the existing bushings as an alternative to replacing certain bushings.

           The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 4 January 1996.
