## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT ON  SYS2.  SWITCHED  TO SYS 1 AND TRIED AGAIN.  GEAR STILL WOULD NOT RETRACT FAULT ON PROX BOX FOR RT GEAR, JACKED A/C.  PRIOR TO RETRACTING GEAR NOTICED RT FWD TRUCK WAS NOT AS LOW AS LEFT, STOOD ON GEAR AND GOT IT TO MOVE INTO PROPER POSITION.  RETRACTED GEAR IN SYSTEM 1 THEN SYSTEM 2 WITH NO FAULTS.  LUBRICATED GEAR  PIVOT POINTS AND REPLACED RT BOGIE BEAM PITCH DAMPER PER A300 M/M 32-11-15-4.  LOWERED ACFT TO BRING WHEELS LEVEL THEN JACKED ACFT BACK UP, RT  BOGIE BEAM WENT TO NORMAL POSITION.  RETRACTED GEAR NORMAL.
