Unsafe Condition
Failure of the main landing gear torque link due to insufficient distance from the bolt hole to the machined surface on the boss (0.350 inches or less) or inadequate contact on the face of the torque link stops, which could result in side loads on the torque links.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Measure the distance from the bolt hole to the machined surface on the torque link boss; replace links with Piper Part Number 65691-00 if the distance is 0.350 inches or less. Inspect torque link stops for full contact width; rework if contact is only on inboard or outboard edge. Install Piper Kit Number 757 123 when replacing links. Ensure proper landing gear servicing per service manual.
