ACA might not have anything to say about it. Did you know that a manufacturer cannot do maintenance, even if the aircraft was manufactured there?
For me, if the surface was just scratched and it could be dressed out, I would be ok with it. I too have heard of gear failures - how many were due to overload, like in a ground loop? And how many were U bolt failures? I am really confident with NAS bolts and bars instead of AN bolts and U bolts.
After all, Cessnas have used the same gear arrangement for almost 3/4 century, and so far, no AD.
