While taxiing following landing at the end of a cross-country flight, the left main landing gear collapsed when the pilot turned the airplane. Examination determined the strut's outer trunion flange had cracked and broke free from its attach bolt. This action had apparently taken place several days before the accident when the pilot related he had heard a loud 'bang/thump' but could not find the origin.
Probable Cause: A failure of the left main landing gear attachment for undetermined reasons.
