Aircraft maybe 11 years old, doubt that the gear is that old. According to Boeing gear is swapped out approx every 10 years or 18000 cycles so would be a good bet that it's fairly new. Once had a main gear torque link shear off on a fairly new gear, turned out to be an error in the heat treatment process from manufacture.
