Ok so I’m working on the new landing gear doors when I noticed that the gear had a slight toe outward. If anything I would prefer a slight toe inward.
So I removed the strut to find that the flat area on the strut pin was re ground down not perpendicular to the frame of the retract. Looking at it closer must have been a poor off the cuff fix to adapt the pin to the strut. Only one side of the pin was reworked not both. So out came the dremmel tool to fix that.
I realize ARFs like these need a little tweaking boy I would much rather I do it myself from the start correctly rather than have to redo substandard workmanship and pay more for it
