Oh nuts. That's a line I meant to edit and I posted it too soon. There is no real downward jolt to the wheel. There is a massive upwards jolt to the fuselage which would transfer to the wings as an initial upwards jerk on the hinge assembly and the uplock assembly.
That aside, your comment should not have been glossed over. It is a key to the landing gear down issue. It needs to be looked at step by step with the forces applied to the MLG assembly's various attachment points at least noted if not analyzed.
(Sometimes ya gotta mention things here several times to get them noticed.)
