Looks like the original nose gear failed at the lower assembly. The

fix it.

Is this an item that everyone with similar setup should check before
next flight? Was the bolt worn? I tried to make it a habit on annual
inspection to rotate any bolt that was capable of rotation such as in
control cable connections. I would give each a 1/4 turn to cut the wear
rate by a factor of 4.
