This is unusual - landing looks fine to me.
Recent maintenance on the gear according to some reports - perhaps a factor.
Nice job keeping the aircraft on the runway.

Wasn’t the gear itself overhauled by Landing Gear Technologies?
I’m guessing the lawyers will target whoever they can.

A bolt from one of the gear links was found on the runway...

A guy I know, had the gear collapse during landing of his C421 turbine conversion.
Cotter pin missing. I wonder if it was under-sized? Or never installed?
One has to wonder if his gear would have worked better, with less maintenance
on it.
Ask Harry Ford about the carburetor he had rebuilt for his PT-22. You know, the
one that stopped feeding gas and resulting in it being destroyed in a forced
landing on a golf course.
