THE PLT STATED THAT HE HAD JUST BROUGHT THE ACFT TO A STOP & HAD SHUT DOWN BOTH ENGS. AT THAT TIME, THE LT. GEAR COLLAPSED. MAINTENANCE CREW FOUND THAT ONE OF THE ACTUATING CYLS WAS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT & THE BUNGEE CORDS WERE WEAK. THE GEAR ASSY ITSELF APPEARED TO BE LACKING IN LUBRICATION. WITNESSES STATED THE PLT APPEARED TO BE IN A HURRY AS HE TAXIED TO THE RAMP. THEY SAW THE ACFT MAKE TWO VERY SHARP TURNS, WITH THE INSIDE WHEEL BEING STOPPED DURING THE TURN & THE ACFT WAS PERMITTED TO PIVOT ON THE STOPPED WHEEL DURING THE TURN.
